NFS Share Is Not Displayed on Create Cluster Resource Menu (304505)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 2.2 OEM Only

This article was previously published under Q304505

SYMPTOMS

After you install Windows Services For UNIX 2.2 OEM Only version (SFU 2.2) on a server cluster, the Create Cluster Resource menu does not display NFS Share as an option.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because, after the computer has been successfully added to the cluster, you must configure Server for NFS to operate in the cluster by running Instclus.cmd. To do this, open a command prompt on the computer, and then type instclus.

MORE INFORMATION

To add a computer running Server for NFS to a server cluster, you must install the Cluster service on the computer, and then configure the computer as the first node of a cluster or as a member of an existing cluster. After the computer has been successfully added to the cluster, run the Instclus command as described in the "Cause" section of this article. After you run this command, delete those shares and re-create them as cluster resources if there are any NFS directories being shared by Server for NFS. If there are nodes in the cluster that are not running Server for NFS, you must also install Server for NFS on those nodes.

Windows Services For UNIX 2.2 OEM Only version of SFU is available only through OEMs. Windows Services for UNIX version 2.2 is designed to be installed only on Windows Powered systems.
