Hi, I have begun a setup with a pretty simple 3-node cluster and a couple of services. One of these is NFS, and I have setup the basics as laid out in the included cluster.conf below. A couple of questions : 1. Do I need to keep the nfs-state information on the NFS_homes volume so as to keep it in sync between clusternodes? 2. The nfsclient name="nfs" is added to enable the current NFS serving node to mount its own export, otherwise I got Jan 15 11:41:03 node03 mountd[14229]: mount request from unknown host XX.XX.XX.174 for /mnt/nfshome (/mnt/nfshome) This is obviously caused by the mount connecting as the NFS service address instead of the hostaddress, what is the best way to resolve this? Mounting with the serviceaddress is not a good solution it seems, as failing the service over is problematic when that address is in use locally. 3. I read "The Red Hat Cluster Suite NFS Cookbook" [1], as the reference Red Hat documentation was a bit thin regarding best practices. Is there more documentation available to read? Any tips/pointers/help highly appreciated. <rm> <failoverdomains> <failoverdomain name="failover_nfshome" ordered="1" restricted="1"> <failoverdomainnode name="node01.domain" priority="30"/> <failoverdomainnode name="node02.domain" priority="30"/> <failoverdomainnode name="node03.domain" priority="10"/> </failoverdomain> </failoverdomains> <resources> <ip address="XX.XX.XX.174" monitor_link="1"/> <nfsexport name="NFShome"/> <fs device="/dev/mapper/NFS_homes" fsid="2" force_fsck="1" force_unmount="1" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/mnt/nfshome" name="nfs_homes" self_fence="0"/> <nfsclient name="node01" options="rw" target="node01.domain"/> <nfsclient name="node02" options="rw" target="node02.domain"/> <nfsclient name="node03" options="rw" target="node03.domain"/> <nfsclient name="nfs" options="rw" target="nfs.domain"/> </resources> <service autostart="0" domain="failover_nfshome" exclusive="0" name="client_nfshome" recovery="restart"> <ip ref="XX.XX.XX.174"/> <fs ref="nfs_homes"> <nfsexport name="nfshome"> <nfsclient ref="node01"/> <nfsclient ref="node02"/> <nfsclient ref="node03"/> <nfsclient ref="nfs"/> </nfsexport> </fs> </service> </rm> [1] http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/nfscookbook.pdf Best Regards -- Denis Braekhus -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
