Information for NFS Installations Only

You need to complete this section only if you are installing the software on an NFS server.

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.

Location of the Software on the Server

If you want to install the software on the NFS server in the same directory as the one specified in INSTALL_LOC, leave INSTALL_LOC_SERVER empty (""). If you prefer, you can override INSTALL_LOC by specifying an alternative directory in INSTALL_LOC_SERVER.

INSTALL_LOC_SERVER="directory"

Recall that the directory specified in INSTALL_LOC defines the mount point for INSTALL_LOC_SERVER on each NFS client.
