Oracle^® Solaris Cluster 4.3 System Administration Guide

How to Configure the File System on the Primary Cluster for the NFS Application

Before You Begin

Complete the procedure How to Configure a Device Group on the Secondary Cluster.

1. On nodeA and nodeB, assume the role that provides solaris.cluster.admin authorization.
2. On nodeA and nodeB, create a mount-point directory for the NFS file system.

   For example:

   nodeA# mkdir /global/mountpoint

3. On nodeA and nodeB, configure the master volume to not be mounted automatically on the mount point.

   Add or replace the following text in the /etc/vfstab file on nodeA and nodeB. The text must be on a single line.

   /dev/md/nfsset/dsk/d200 /dev/md/nfsset/rdsk/d200 \
   /global/mountpoint ufs 3 no global,logging

4. On nodeA and nodeB, create a mount point for metadevice d204.

   The following example creates the mount point /global/etc.

   nodeA# mkdir /global/etc

5. On nodeA and nodeB, configure metadevice d204 to be mounted automatically on the mount point.

   Add or replace the following text in the /etc/vfstab file on nodeA and nodeB. The text must be on a single line.

   /dev/md/nfsset/dsk/d204 /dev/md/nfsset/rdsk/d204 \
   /global/etc ufs 3 yes global,logging

6. Mount metadevice d204 on nodeA.

   nodeA# mount /global/etc

7. Create the configuration files and information for the Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for NFS data service.
   1. Create a directory called /global/etc/SUNW.nfs on nodeA.

      nodeA# mkdir -p /global/etc/SUNW.nfs

   2. Create the file /global/etc/SUNW.nfs/dfstab.nfs-rs on nodeA.

      nodeA# touch /global/etc/SUNW.nfs/dfstab.nfs-rs

   3. Add the following line to the /global/etc/SUNW.nfs/dfstab.nfs-rs file on nodeA.

      share -F nfs -o rw -d "HA NFS" /global/mountpoint
