2.3 NAS configuration

This section explains how to configure NAS.

Initial configuration

Perform initial configuration including network systems and RAID according to the NAS manual.

Volume creation

Create a volume according to the NAS manual. The volume name is required when the environment of the PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for NAS is configured

Host setup

If you use a DNS server on NAS, you need to perform IP address to host name mapping. If you do not use a DNS server, register a host name and an associate IP using the following steps:

Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the management server for NAS.

Register a host name and an associate IP of a cluster node in the "/etc/hosts" file of NAS.

You also need to register an NAS host name and an associate IP in DNS or in the "/etc/hosts" file of the cluster node.

You must specify the same host name as that of the cluster node in the DNS or NAS "/etc/hosts" file. If the name is different, the file lock might not be properly controlled.

rsh setup

Set up rsh that is used to control NAS using the following steps:

1. Log on to NAS using telnet.
2. Execute the following command, so rsh can be used from the node:
3. options rsh.access host=host name1, host name2, *.
4. Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the NAS management server.
5. Register a host name of the cluster node in the "/etc/hosts.equiv" file of NAS.

After setup, it is recommended to check if rsh on cluster nodes is available for NAS.
