Task Map: Configuring Clustered File Systems With Oracle Solaris Cluster

Use the tasks in the table to configure clustered file systems with Oracle Solaris Cluster.

Step	Task	Description
1	Prepare the host systems.	Verify user and group IDs, and NFS-share the file system as described in Preparing the Host Systems.
2	Edit the `mcf` file.	Edit the `mcf` file for each host that you want to include in a shared file system in an Oracle Solaris Cluster environment. See Editing `mcf` Files for a Clustered File System.
3	Create the shared hosts file.	On the metadata server, create the shared hosts file as described in Creating the Shared Hosts File on the Metadata Server.
4	Verify the resource group on all nodes.	On each host that can mount the file system, verify that the file system is mounted and shared. See How to Verify the Daemons.
5	Make the shared file system available to Oracle Solaris Cluster.	Log in to the metadata server and configure the resource as described in How to Enable a Shared File System as a `SUNW.qfs` Resource.
6	Bring the shared resource online.	On the metadata server, move the shared resource to another node as described in How to Bring the Shared Resource Online.
7	Verify the resource group on all nodes.	On each node in the cluster that is part of the shared file system, move the shared resource to another node as described in How to Verify the Resource Group on All Nodes. When you are finished, return to the metadata server.

To prepare the host systems for a shared file system in an Oracle Solaris Cluster environment, perform the following tasks:

Verify that all the hosts have the same user and group IDs.
- If you are not running the Network Information Name service (NIS), make sure that all /etc/passwd and all /etc/group files are identical.
- If you are running NIS, the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files should already be identical.
  
  For more information, see the nis+(1) man page.
NFS-share the file system.

This step provides a general description of how to NFS-share a file system in an Oracle Solaris Cluster environment. For more information on NFS-sharing file systems that are controlled by HAStoragePlus, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Network File System (NFS) Guide and the NFS documentation.
1. Locate the dfstab.resource-name file.
  
  The Pathprefix property of HAStoragePlus specifies the directory in which the dfstab.resource-name file resides.
2. Add a share command to the Pathprefix/SUNW.nfs/dfstab.resource-name file.
  
  For example:
```
share -F nfs -o rw /global/qfs1
```
