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 or a qtree according to the NAS manual. The volume name or the qtree 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.
Note
Confirm it can access the NAS device after the setting is completed. Confirm it is possible to access it by the ping command for the NAS device with the IPv4 address. Confirm it is possible to access it by the ping6 command for the NAS device with the IPv6 address.
You must specify the same host name as that of the cluster node in the DNS or "/etc/hosts" file of NAS. 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:
Log on to NAS using telnet.
Execute the following command, so rsh can be used from the node:
options rsh.access host=host name1, host name2, ..
Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the NAS management server.
Register a host name of the cluster node in the "/etc/hosts.equiv" file of NAS.
Note
After setup, it is recommended to check if rsh on cluster nodes is available for NAS.
# rsh nas1 date |
exportfs setup
Set up exportfs using the following steps.
Mount the "/vol/vol0" volume on the NAS management server.
Register a volume name or a qtree name of NAS and names of cluster nodes that access to the volume on the "/etc/exports" file of NAS.
