Highly Available HP CIFS Server allows the HP CIFS Server
product to run on a MC/ServiceGuard cluster of nodes. MC/ServiceGuard
allows you to create high availability clusters of HP 9000 Server
computers.
You must set up an MC/ServiceGuard cluster before you can
set up an HA HP CIFS Server. For instructions on setting up an MC/ServiceGuard cluster,
refer to the Managing MC/ServiceGuard manual.
HA HP CIFS Server provides customizable configuration, control
scripts and monitor scripts. These scripts as well as a README file
reside in the directory /opt/samba/HA/active_standby. These
are sample scripts and should be customized for your environment.
This section and the files in /opt/samba/HA/active_standby only
apply to an active-standby HA configuration. The equivalent files
which apply to an active-active HA configuration are in the /opt/samba/HA/active-active directory.

The recommended clients for HA HP CIFS Server are Windows
95 and Microsoft NT Workstation. Older clients, such as DOS/Windows
3.1 LM 2.2C and Windows for Workgroups, may not respond well to
HP CIFS Server stopping and network connections terminating as occurs
during an HA HP CIFS Server switchover.
Review the “Special Notes for HA HP CIFS Server” section
contained later in this chapter for usage considerations.
