Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.31.04 Release Notes (March 2009)

Serviceguard NFS Toolkit Overview
HP Serviceguard Network File Server (NFS) Toolkit uses HP Serviceguard to set up highly
available NFS servers.
You must set up a Serviceguard cluster before you can set up Highly Available (HA) NFS.
Serviceguard NFS Toolkit is a separately purchased set of configuration files and control script,
which you can customize for your specific needs.
An NFS server is a host that exports its local directories and makes them available for client hosts
to mount using NFS. On the NFS client, these mounted directories look to users like part of the
client's local file system. With HP Serviceguard NFS Toolkit, the NFS server package containing
the exported file systems can move to a different node in the cluster in the event of failure. After
Serviceguard starts the NFS package on the adoptive node, the NFS file systems are re-exported
from the adoptive node with minimum disruption of services to users. When the service returns,
the user can continue access to the file.
