This provides signalling between the nodes, allowing for the detection of a node failure. <> The F1-4 file systems were controlled by the first node. <> The F5-8 file systems were controlled by the second node. <> <> File systems were exported with the following options: <> rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure <> <> The number of nfsd process was limited to 128 by using the rpc.nfsd command. <> Because of a command behaviour issue, the user must first specify zero (0) processes and then repeat the command specifying 128 processes. <> <> The following products are included: <> VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 <> VERITAS File System 3.4 <> <> The Qlogic 2312 controller used is a dual port controller. Though there are <> 5 controllers in each unit, for a total of 10 ports per node, only 4 ports per node were used, one port was used out of each controller, utilizing 4 controllers per node. <> <> The Intel 82546 GbEthernet controller is a dual port controller, however only one port was used. =============================================================================== Generated on Thu May 8 11:56:04 EDT 2003 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
