Hi automount experts,
I am trying to configure a fail-proof application server, using automount.
I am using the following map to automount /usr/local on a client;
/usr/local / -ro,soft node1,node2,node3:/usr/local
The assumed that if node1 fails, automount will mount from node1 or
node2. I was wrong...
This methods works only on the first mount(when /usr/local is not mounted
yet), if node1 is down it will mount from node2 etc. However if node1 fails
after /usr/local was mounted, automount will not mount from node2, unless
/usr/local is umount -f first.
This of course is not an automated system and requires root intervention.
Not always available at 2AM.
The Digital Software support expert claims that this is a deficiency
common to all unix systems. Does any one of you have a solution?
I hope I was clear enough.
TIA
