Overview of MC/ServiceGuard NFS

Supported Configurations

 

Cascading Failover with Three Adoptive Nodes

 

A package may be configured with up to three adoptive nodes. Figure 1-4

 

shows this configuration. If Node_A fails, Pkg_1 is adopted by Node_B.

 

However, if Node_B is down, Pkg_1 is adopted by Node_C, and if Node_C is

 

down, Pkg_1 is adopted by Node_D. The adoptive nodes are listed in the

 

package configuration file, /etc/cmcluster/nfs/nfs.conf, in the order

 

in which they will be tried. Note that all four nodes must have access to

 

the disks for the Pkg_1 file systems.
