Creating clustered file shares (CIFS and NFS)
Note: For HTTP and FTP clustering setup and file sharing, refer to the information
The creation of file shares on a cluster involves dependencies on a physical disk, a
static IP address, and a network name. These dependencies allow resources that
are defined to the same disk group to move as a group. The dependencies also
assure necessary access for the given resource.
Note: You must configure Server for NFS before NFS file sharing can be used.
Figure 1 illustrates the file share dependencies. Descriptions of the diagram
components follow the figure.

8) Click Add to add the mapping between the UNIX group name and
Windows group name to the list of maps.
9) If multiple Windows group names are mapped to one UNIX group
name, select one Windows group name to be the primary group name.
Select the mapping corresponding to the primary group name from the
list of maps, and then click Set Primary.

The base resource in which to store user data. It is not dependent on any
other resources except the physical disk that it defines. The disk resource
must also have the same drive letters on both nodes so that the definitions
of resources that depend on it do not change if the resource is moved to
the other node.
A virtual address that binds onto an existing IP address on one of the
cluster's public networks. This IP address provides access for clients and is
not dependent on a particular node, instead a subnet that both nodes can
access. Because this address is not the physical adapter's permanent
address, it can bind and unbind to its paired adapter on the same network
on the other node in the cluster. You can create multiple IP addresses using
the Cluster Administrator on the same physical network.
