The HAStoragePlus resource type synchronizes the startups between resource groups and disk device groups. The HAStoragePlus resource type has an additional feature to make a local file system highly available. For background information about making a local file system highly available, see Enabling Highly Available Local File Systems in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Data Services Planning and Administration Guide . To use both of these features, set up the HAStoragePlus resource type.
The following example uses a simple NFS service that exports home directory data from a locally mounted directory /global/local-fs/nfs/export/ home. The example assumes the following:
The mount point /global/local-fs/nfs is used to mount a UFS local file system on an Oracle Solaris Cluster global device partition.
The /etc/vfstab entry for the /global/local-fs/nfs file system should omit the global option and specify that the mount at boot flag is no.
The path-prefix directory is on the root directory of the same file system that is to be mounted, for example, /global/local-fs/nfs. The path-prefix directory is the directory that HA-NFS uses to maintain administrative information and status information.
The following command prints a list of registered resource types.
# clresourcetype show | egrep Type
# clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus # clresourcetype register SUNW.nfs
# clresourcegroup create -p PathPrefix=/global/local-fs/nfs nfs-rg
# clreslogicalhostname create -g nfs-rg -h log-nfs nfs-lh-rs
# clresource create -g nfs-rg -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \ -p FilesystemMountPoints=/global/local-fs/nfs \ -p AffinityOn=True nfs-hastp-rs
The resource is created in the enabled state.
The node where the resource group is brought online becomes the primary node for the /global/local-fs/nfs file system's underlying global device partition. The file system /global/local-fs/nfs is then mounted on this node.
# clresourcegroup online -M nfs-rg
The file dfstab.nfs-rs must be present in /global/local-fs/nfs/SUNW.nfs.
# clresource create -g nfs-rg -t SUNW.nfs \ -p Resource_dependencies_offline_restart=nfs-hastp-rs nfs-rs
The resource is created in the enabled state.
# clresourcegroup offline nfs-rg
# clresourcegroup online -eM nfs-rg
![]() | Caution - Ensure that you switch only the resource group. Do not attempt to switch the device group. If you attempt to switch the device group, the states of the resource group and the device group become inconsistent, causing the resource group to fail over. |
Whenever the service is migrated to a new node, the primary I/O path for /global/local-fs/nfs will always be online and colocated with the NFS servers. The file system /global/local-fs/nfs is locally mounted before the NFS server is started.
