OK, I'm looking to consolidate a number of existing NFS servers (NFS3 mostly, wouldn't be above using NFS4 in the future) onto what will become a cluster of solaris boxes.
What I'm looking for is the ability to do this move initially without having to affect the client configurations: which means, that my new machines will acquire a series of IP addresses. At each of those IP addresses there'll be a different set of NFS shares. That is, I'd like the NFS share namespace to be virtualised on the basis of server IP address. Sounds a lot like asking for NFS service from within a zone, I know. To be honest I'd settle for an nfsd that supported virtualised namespaces; I don't need the full zone compartmentalisation. I've been led to believe by various tantalising hits and tips that trusted extensions may be able to do what I'm after: but what I haven't found is an idiot's step-by-step howto (ironically, I have found several exasperated emails from people who apparently spell this out on a regular basis). So: will TX give me what I'm after for NFS3 & 4? Will it do it now? If so, does anyone have a cookbook? Cheers, jan This message posted from opensolaris.org
