This guide supports the IRIX FailSafe NFS 2.2 plug-in release and contains the following changes:
The new change-export-options script allows users to change export options for an NFS filesystem when the resource group is online; see “Changing Export Options” in Chapter 3.
A caution against cross-mounting filesystems using NFS in a FailSafe cluster and using NFS over TCP; see “Planning NFS Filesystems” in Chapter 1.
Information about the fsid option in the /etc/exports file that allows you to handle some Linux or other operating system NFS clients that are written to interpret or place restrictions on the fsid value returned in the attributes. See “Changing Export Options” in Chapter 3.
The start executable timeout for the statd_unlimited resource type has been increased to 50 seconds. If you are upgrading from an earlier release, you may want to increase the start executable timeout for the statd_unlimited resource type already installed on your system. You can do this by using the Modify a Resource Type task the FailSafe GUI or of the modify resource_type operation in the cmgr command. In FailSafe 2.2, the recovery for NFS locks will take at most 30 seconds, even when NFS clients are not responding. For more information, see “Installing the NFS and statd_unlimited Resource Types” in Chapter 3.
The guide has been reorganized. Old information has been deleted and new examples have been added.
