mcsg nfs toolkit

nobleboi — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:17:09 GMT

hv confired an nfs cluster using nfs toolkit...
am able to manually failover the package etc.
but its giving problem, lets say when i stop the nfs server service from the package running node.

DO NOT STOP THE NFS service manually on a node in a cluster using NFS.

The only time you can safely do that is when all the packages are down first.

hi
is there a better way to test the package monitoring ?

its detecting the service failure and disabling the package switching (instead of node switching ?)

NFS on HP-UX is very touchy.

Throw ServiceGuard into it - and anything that touches NFS outside of ServiceGuard can produce results that the only way to fix is a reboot.

Now, if all you want to do is test - as long as you arn't impacting production - ie you can reboot after your test, then just try killing processes manually.

Like this one will cause a failover:

/usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd

Kill that and the package should failover (as long as package switching is enabled)

cmmodpkg -e PACKAGENAME

I reiterate - you should reboot after your test - as NFS is very sensitive in a Service Guard environment.
