Many thanks to Johan Brusche for directing me to the mount(8) man pages, I had completely overlooked the options below:
I would like to implement a server_only mount at boot time.
Yes, I could create a little stand alone script, but the man pages say that the mount -o [arg] syntax can be incorporated into the /etc/fstab file. I have never seen this done and can find on examples. Can anyone provide one?
server=cluster_member_name
Enables you to specify the cluster member, identified by
cluster_member_name, that serves a given file system at startup.
This mount command option determines where the file system is first mounted; it does not limit or determine the cluster members to which the file system might later be relocated or fail over.
The -o server=cluster_member_name option is valid only in a cluster, and only for the AdvFS, UFS, MFS, NFS, CDFS, and DVDFS file systems.
MFS file systems support this option in a limited fashion: the file system is mounted only if the specified server is the local node.
For information on using this option, refer to the distributing File Systems Via the mount -o Command section of the Cluster Administration manual.
server_only
Enables cluster file system partitioning. Use this option only in a cluster. For example:
# mount -o server_only file-system
