Description Mukul Malhotra 2016-08-23 11:51:08 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/sect-NFS.html#idp26021312

Section Number and Name: 

7.2.1. Setting up CTDB for NFS 

Describe the issue: 

Additional configuration is required for setting NFS failover with CTDB as without the same, the nfs failover is not happening. Below parameter (CTDB_MANAGES_NFS) is required in "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" file as,

# grep -v ^# /etc/sysconfig/nfs 
CTDB_MANAGES_NFS=yes

Where,

CTDB_MANAGES_NFS: With this set to yes, CTDB will start/stop/restart nfs services as required.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Suggested parameter need to be mentioned as an Important note.

Surabhi,

Can you continue to update further finding in BZ#1370090 where a bz is already opened for this issue.

This is wrong!

We should not set CTDB_MANAGES_NFS=yes because it will try to manage the linux kernel nfs server.

Currently there are no config options for gnfs HA.

Can we please close the BZ?
