ProcedureHow to Replicate Shared Files Across Several Servers

The best way to share replicated file systems that are read-only is to use failover. See Client-Side Failover for a discussion of failover.

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Modify the entry in the autofs maps.

    Create the list of all replica servers as a comma-separated list, such as the following: 


    bin     aa,bb,cc,dd:/export/local/bin/$CPU

    Autofs chooses the nearest server. If a server has several network interfaces, list each interface. Autofs chooses the nearest interface to the client, avoiding unnecessary routing of NFS traffic.
