The two nodes use a shared hostname to provide the NFS service to the clients. Problem: In order to run NFS with Kerberos support on a shared hostname (which is not the ACTUAL hostname of any machine), the init script of the NFS server (/etc/init.d/nfsserver) of the NFS client (/etc/init.d/nfs) need to be patched. In case there would be any update to the NFS server or client, these changes will be overwritten. Solution: Add configuration options to /etc/sysconfig/nfs that will be passed on to the NFS server and client init scripts. More details: I adding the following options in /etc/init.d/nfsserver: --------- 1) Make the location of the rpc_pipefs directory configurable (because we link /var/lib/nfs to a DRBD device, thus the standard path /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs is not available on the DRBD slave, which causes the nfs client to malfunction) 2) Add shared hostname as an option to SVCGSSD 3) Add shared hostname as an option to NFSD --------- --- nfsserver 2011-04-25 17:36:21.000000000 +0200 +++ nfsserver.patched 2011-04-25 17:35:43.000000000 +0200 @@ -50,6 +50,12 @@ # with force-reload (in case signalling is not supported) are # considered a success. +# HA patches: +RPC_PIPEFS_DIR=/var/lib/rpc_pipefs +SVCGSSD_OPTIONS="-n" +NFSD_OPTIONS="-H <shared_hostname>" + SVCGSSD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd IDMAPD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd NFSD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd @@ -116,19 +122,19 @@ mount_rpc_pipefs() { # See if the file system is there yet - case `stat -c "%t" -f /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs` in + case `stat -c "%t" -f $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR` in *67596969*) return 0;; esac - mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs + mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR } umount_rpc_pipefs() { - case `stat -c "%t" -f /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs` in + case `stat -c "%t" -f $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR` in *67596969*) - umount /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs;; + umount $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR;; esac } @@ -138,7 +144,7 @@ done mount_rpc_pipefs - startproc $SVCGSSD_BIN + startproc $SVCGSSD_BIN $SVCGSSD_OPTIONS return $? } @@ -226,7 +232,7 @@ fi # rpc.nfsd echo -n " nfsd" - $NFSD_BIN $PARAMS $VERSION_PARAMS || { + $NFSD_BIN $NFSD_OPTIONS $PARAMS $VERSION_PARAMS || { rc_status -v rc_exit } -------- I would like to variables $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR, $SVCGSSD_OPTIONS and $NFSD_OPTIONS to be added to /etc/sysconfig/nfs such that their values are kept even with an update of the nfskernel server. For statd and sm_notify there exist the corresponding options variables $STATD_OPTIONS and $SM_NOTIFY_OPTIONS already, which are configurable via YaST! The addition of the $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR variable also is included in the init script of the nfs client: -------- --- nfs 2011-04-25 17:43:08.000000000 +0200 +++ nfs.patched 2011-04-25 17:42:52.000000000 +0200 @@ -24,6 +24,9 @@ . /etc/rc.status . /etc/sysconfig/nfs +# HA patches: +RPC_PIPEFS_DIR=/var/lib/rpc_pipefs + IDMAPD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd GSSD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.gssd STATD_BIN=/usr/sbin/rpc.statd @@ -115,18 +118,18 @@ mount_rpc_pipefs() { # See if the file system is there yet - case `stat -c "%t" -f /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs` in + case `stat -c "%t" -f $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR` in *67596969*) return 0;; esac - mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs + mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR } umount_rpc_pipefs() { # See if the file system is there - case `stat -c "%t" -f /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs` in + case `stat -c "%t" -f $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR` in *67596969*) - umount /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs + umount $RPC_PIPEFS_DIR esac } -------- Also, porting these changes to SLES11SP1 (or SP2) would be great, as we are actually using an HA-NFS server with SLES11.1.
