Can I configure a RHEL 6, 7, 8, or 9 High Availability cluster with pacemaker to serve highly available NFS exports distributed across multiple nodes?
Issue
- I want to load balance my HA NFS exports, so that each node in the cluster exports some individual shares.
- How can I set up "Active/Active" NFS exporting with RHEL High Availability, so that we can utilize all the nodes in the cluster for serving different exports?
- Can I run an
nfsserver
resource as a clone throughout the cluster, but then have individualexportfs
resources float between nodes for load-balancing and recovery purposes?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, 7, 8, or 9 with the High Availability Add-On
Pacemaker
- Cluster serving multiple highly available NFS exports
