Pacemaker : Set Cluster Resource (NFS)2025/10/09

Set NFS Cluster Resource and Configure Active/Passive NFS Server.

This example is based on the environment like follows.
1) Basic Cluster setting is done
2) Fence Device is configured
3) LVM shared storage is configured

[1]	On all Cluster Nodes, Install NFS tools.

root@node01:~#

apt -y install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common

[2]	On a Node that LVM shared storage is active in Cluster, Add NFS resource. [/dev/vg_ha/lv_ha] on the example below is LVM shared storage.
