Component-Specific Configuration

The procedure to configure the components of Native File Access for UNIX is much the same as when you configure the components without cluster services. However, some points must be kept in mind while configuring the following components:

• NFS Server
• Network Information Service

For the location of the configuration files for Native File Access for UNIX with and without Cluster Services, see Location of Configuration Files .

NFS Server

While configuring the NFS Server, note the following:

• Export only the shared volumes from NFS Server. For exporting other shared volumes, make sure you mount those volumes in the load script by adding the following before the nfsclust entry:

  mount volumename volid = 253 or lesser than this number

  After this, deactivate and dismount them in the unload script:

  dismount volumename

• When mounting from an NFS client, use the virtual IP address of the cluster volume object.

For more information on configuring the NFS Server, see ConsoleOne-Based Management for NFS Server.

Network Information Service

While configuring the NIS clients, note the following:

• Bind the NIS clients to NIS server running on the cluster using a virtual IP address.
