How to Create an NFS Application Resource Group on the Secondary Cluster

Before You Begin

• Complete the procedure How to Create an NFS Application Resource Group on the Primary Cluster.

• Ensure that the /etc/netmasks file has IP-address subnet and netmask entries for all logical hostnames. If necessary, edit the /etc/netmasks file to add any missing entries.

1. Access nodeC as the role that provides solaris.cluster.modify, solaris.cluster.admin, and solaris.cluster.read RBAC authorization.
2. Register SUNW.nfs as a resource type.

   nodeC# clresourcetype register SUNW.nfs

3. If SUNW.HAStoragePlus has not been registered as a resource type, register it.

   nodeC# clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus

4. Create an application resource group for the device group.

   nodeC# clresourcegroup create \
   -p Pathprefix=/global/etc \
   -p Auto_start_on_new_cluster=False \
   -p RG_affinities=+++devgrp-stor-rg \
   nfs-rg

   create

   Creates the resource group.

   -p

   Specifies a property of the resource group.

   Pathprefix=/global/etc

   Specifies a directory into which the resources in the group can write administrative files.

   Auto_start_on_new_cluster=False

   Specifies that the application resource group is not started automatically.

   RG_affinities=+++devgrp-stor-rg

   Specifies the resource group where the application resource group must be collocated. In this example, the application resource group must be collocated with the replication resource group devgrp-stor-rg.

   If the replication resource group is switched over to a new primary node, the application resource group is automatically switched over. However, attempts to switch over the application resource group to a new primary node are blocked because that breaks the collocation requirement.

   nfs-rg

   The name of the application resource group.

5. Add a SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource to the application resource group.

   nodeC# clresource create -g nfs-rg \
   -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
   -p FileSystemMountPoints=/global/mountpoint \
   -p AffinityOn=True \
   nfs-dg-rs

   create

   Creates the resource.

   -g

   Specifies the resource group to which the resource is added.

   -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus

   Specifies that the resource is of the type SUNW.HAStoragePlus.

   -p

   Specifies a property of the resource.

   FileSystemMountPoints=/global/mountpoint

   Specifies that the mount point for the file system is global.

   AffinityOn=True

   Specifies that the application resource must perform an affinity switchover for the global devices and cluster file systems defined by -p FileSystemMountPoints=. Therefore, when the application resource group fails over or is switched over, the associated device group is switched over.

   nfs-dg-rs

   The name of the HAStoragePlus resource for the NFS application.

6. Add a logical hostname resource to the application resource group.

   nodeC# clreslogicalhostname create -g nfs-rg \
   lhost-nfsrg-sec

   The logical hostname of the application resource group on the secondary cluster is named lhost-nfsrg-sec.

7. Add an NFS resource to the application resource group.

   nodeC# clresource create -g nfs-rg \
   -t SUNW.nfs -p Resource_dependencies=nfs-dg-rs nfs-rg

8. If the global volume is mounted on the primary cluster, unmount the global volume from the secondary cluster.

   nodeC# umount /global/mountpoint

   If the volume is mounted on a secondary cluster, the synchronization fails.
