mount point vs. failover

Hi,

If a FS in SG unmounted for any reason, would that cause the package failover?

Thanks in advance.

hi

NO. but i don't think so that u can umount a filsystem in SG becoz normally all filesystem will be used by some or other application or database which is in configured in SG. so some process will be using that filesystem and it will error Device busy.
but if u do it forcefully also as per my know ledge SG wont failover

Hello,

I am assuming you are talking about the nfs server.

Only if you are set up to have the nfs monitored. See the services section of nfs.cntl.

Hope this helps

Hi Roger,

Not, if the filesystem is not in use. In Case the filesystem is used by a process monitored by SG, to unmount the filesystem, the process needs to be killed and the package will failover. If the filesystem is just one of the SG filesystems without any monitoring issue involved, it can be unmounted anytime.

Hope this helps.
