Creating Nfs Share Resources; Shadow Copies In A Cluster; Extend A Lun In A Cluster; Msnfs Administration On A Server Cluster - HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Administration Manual

NOTE:
• A file share resource must reside in the same cluster group as the physical disk resource it will
reside on.
• The physical disk resource specified in this step must reside in the same cluster group as specified in
the beginning of this wizard.

Creating NFS share resources

To create an NFS share resource, refer to

Shadow copies in a cluster

It is recommended that the location of the cache file be placed on a separate disk from the original data.
In this case, a physical disk resource for the cache file disk should be created in the same cluster group
as the intended Shadow Copy resource and the volume for which snapshots will be enabled. The
resource should be created prior to the establishment of Shadow Copies. The Shadow Copy resource
should be dependent on both the original physical disk resource and the physical disk resource that
contains the cache file.
For more information, refer to the following topics in the clustering online help:
• Using Shadow Copies of Shared Folders in a server cluster
• Enable Shadow Copies for shared folders in a cluster

Extend a LUN in a cluster

To extend a LUN on an EVA storage array in a cluster, perform the following procedures:
1.
Review requirements and procedures from the storage array hardware provider for expanding
or extending storage.
2. Ensure that Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 is installed.
3. Run Command View EVA on the storage server to increase the size of the presented EVA LUN.
4.
Run Microsoft DiskPart.exe to add the additional space to the volume.
