Serviceguard NFS Toolkit

 

Serviceguard NFS is a tool kit that enables you to use Serviceguard to set up highly available NFS servers. With Serviceguard NFS, the NFS server package containing the exported file systems can move to a different node in the cluster in the event of failure. After Serviceguard starts the NFS package on the adoptive node, the NFS file systems are re-exported from the adoptive node with minimum disruption of service to users. When the service returns, the user can continue access to the file without restarting the client.


Availability

Serviceguard NFS is a separately purchased set of configuration files and control scripts, which you customize for your specific needs. It is available on HP-UX 11.0, 11i v1 and 11i v2.

Features and Benefits
  • Support for simple failover from an active NFS server node to an idle NFS server node.
  • Support for failover from one active NFS server node to another active NFS server node.
  • Nodes can be configured to limit the number of NFS packages that they can adopt.
  • Support for cascading failover with three adoptive nodes. This allows the package to specify multiple adoptive nodes which can be used when there are multiple node failures.
  • Support for NFS cross-mounting which can be used to configure a file system name space which is identical across all cluster members.
  • Support for NFS file lock migration (available in A.11.11.03 and A.11.23.02 and later).
