Hi,

Cluster File system is part of Veritas Cluster Volume Manager. CFS allows clustered servers to mount and use the same file system simultaneously, as if
all applications using the file system are running on the same server. CVM makes logical
volumes and raw device applications accessible throughout a cluster.

If you need more details read this document.

If you have a ServiceGuard package with some NFS mounts, HA-NFS ist the thing you need. As a matter of fact it is a script-collection that does exportfs -i for all the specified NFS shares.

All the NFS shares are stored within an array, just like the list of VG/LV.
