Configuring the Cluster Resources

This chapter provides the procedures for configuring the cluster resources needed for an NFS service.
For the procedure for configuring the NFS service itself, see

Before you can configure an NFS service for a GFS file system in a cluster, you must add the following
resources to your cluster:
• The IP address for the NFS service, as described in
