NFS Server Host Name

The format for setting the NFS server host name is the same as for setting the host names for the nodes in the cluster. There are two ways to define the host name of the NFS server:

• If you have a terminal concentrator, describe the NFS server in the following triplet format.

  NFS_SERVER="hostname/termcon_name/port_id"

• If you do not have a terminal concentrator, simply specify the host name of the NFS server.

  NFS_SERVER="hostname"

The NFS server can be one of the cluster nodes or it can be external (but connected) to the cluster. If the server will be part of the cluster--that is, will also be an execution host for the Sun HPC ClusterTools software--it must be included in the NODES field described in "Hardware Information". If the NFS server will not be part of the cluster, it must be available from all the hosts listed in NODES, but it should not be included in the NODES field.
