Prerequisites

Before installing Native File Access for UNIX with cluster support, create a shared volume and a Cluster Volume object.

1. Create the directory SYS:\NFSBACK.

2. Make a backup of the configuration files.

   • When cluster enabling for the first time, copy the configuration files NFS.CFG, NFSSERVER.CFG, NIS.CFG and NISSERV.CFG from SYS:\ETC to SYS:\NFSBACK.
   • When upgrading from a previously cluster enabled setup, copy the configuration files NFS.CFG, NFSSERVER.CFG, NIS.CFG and NISSERV.CFG from Shared Vol Name :\ETC to SYS:\NFSBACK

3. Create a shared volume using NWCONFIG > NSS volumes.

   NOTE:  Do not use the name nfsclust because it is a reserved word.

4. To create a Cluster Volume object from ConsoleOne, complete the following:

   1. Select the Cluster object.

   2. Click File > New > Cluster > Cluster Volume.

   3. Browse and select the shared volume.

   4. Enter the secondary IP address or the virtual IP address associated with the cluster.

      The address will be in the following format:

      AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD

   5. Check the Define Additional Properties check box and click Create.

   6. Set the Start, Failover, and Failback Modes.

   7. Verify the order of the servers in the nodes list.

   8. To save the changes to the Cluster Volume object, click OK.

   IMPORTANT:  After the shared volume servername_shared vol name is cluster- enabled, ConsoleOne renames it to cluster object name_shared vol name.

   ConsoleOne creates a virtual server associated with the shared volume called cluster object name_shared vol name_SERVER.

   ConsoleOne also creates a Cluster Volume object called shared vol name_SERVER in the Cluster object container.
