Before Creating an MC/ServiceGuard NFS
Package
Before creating a MC/ServiceGuard NFS package, perform the following
tasks:
1. Select the NFS Server package during Red Hat Linux installation
and verify that the NFS is properly installed.
After RedHat installation is complete, check for both the NFS kernel
and NFS utility to verify NFS installation:
• Verify the NFS utility, run the command:
# rpm –qa | grep nfs
If the output contains nfs-utils-0.3.1-5 , the utility is
installed.
• Verify NFS kernel, do the following: (the following steps are for
Linux run-level 5)
— Use the following command to change directory:
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
— Run make xconfig command.
A kernel configuration window is displayed.
— From the configuration window, click the File Systems
button.
A File System configuration window is displayed
— From the File Systems window, click the Network File
Systems button.
— Verify that both NFS file system support and NFS server
support items are checked.
If both are checked, NFS is included in Linux Kernel.
2. Set up your MC/ServiceGuard cluster according to the instructions in
the Managing MC/ServiceGuard for Linux manual.
