PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for NAS Configuration and Administration Guide 4.2 - Solairs(TM) Operating System -

2.3 NAS configuration

This section explains how to configure NAS.

Initial configuration

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

Volume creation

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

Host setup

If you use a DNS server on NAS, it is necessary to map an IP address to a host name. If you do not use a DNS server, register a host name and IP address using the following steps:

1. Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on a management server for NAS.
2. Register a host name and an associate IP of a cluster node in the "/etc/hosts" file of NAS.

It is also necessary to register host names and IP addresses of cluster nodes that use NAS in the "/etc/hosts" file (mount point).

You must specify the same host name as that of the cluster node in the DNS or NAS "/etc/inet/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:

   Options rsh.access host=host name1, host name2, *.

   
   
3. Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the NAS management server.
4. 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.
