Well then this is probably the wrong list to be hounding I am looking for something like http://blog.wpkg.org/2007/10/26/stale-nfs-file-handle/ Where when fileserver A dies, fileserver B can come up, grab the same IP address via some mechanism(in this case I am using sun cluster) and keep on trucking without the lovely stale file handle errors I am encountering.
My clients are Linux, Servers are sol 10u4. it seems that it is impossible to change the fsid on solaris, can you point me towards the appropriate NFS client behavior option lingo if you have a minute?(just the terminology would be great, there are a ton of confusing options in the land of nfs: Client recovery, failover, replicas etc....) I am unable to use block base replication(AVS) underneath the ZFS layer because I would like to run with different zpool schemes on each server( fast primary server, slower, larger failover server only to be used during downtime on the main server.) Worst case scenario here seems to be that I would have to forcibly unmount and remount all my client mounts. Ill start bugging the nfs-discuss people. Thank you.
