Chapter 4. Components to Configure

This procedure documents the configuration of cluster resources and an NFS cluster service that will be named nfssvc.
Table 4.1, “Cluster Resources to Configure” summarizes the cluster resources that this procedure configures.

Table 4.1. Cluster Resources to Configure

Resource Type Resource Name Description
IP Address 10.15.86.96 The IP address for the NFS service
GFS mygfs The GFS file system that will be exported through the NFS service
NFS Export mynfs
NFS Client nfsclient1 The NFS client system nfsclient1.example.com
NFS Client nfsclient2 The NFS client system nfsclient2.example.com
NFS Client nfsclient3 The NFS client system nfsclient3.example.com
NFS Client nfsclient4 The NFS client system nfsclient4.example.com
NFS Client nfsclient5 The NFS client system nfsclient5.example.com
The procedure for configuring these resources and the specific parameters to configure are described in Chapter 5, Configuring the Cluster Resources.
You configure a Cluster service by adding a service and defining the composition of the service, which consists of the resources that the service requires. In this procedure, you will create an NFS cluster service named nfssvc. Table 4.2, “Parameters to Configure for NFS Cluster Service nfssvc” summarizes the resource configuration of nfssvc. The names of the resources are those that you assign when you define them, as noted in Table 4.1, “Cluster Resources to Configure”
