- Hi,
-
- I just upgraded to Multinet V3.1 and I noticed that NETCONTROL NFS
- has some commands which I didn't see in the manual. The commands
- are RECORD-RESPONSE-TIMES and SHOW-RESPONSE-TIMES. Since we are
- very interested in NFS server performance these new commands look
- like they might be of interest to us, but RECORD-RESPONSE-TIMES
- gives an "?Unknown error" when I give it any parameter and
- SHOW-RESPONSE-TIMES just returns:
- < NFS server response times:
- < OK
- NFS>
-
- Are these commands really implemented? Are they designed as Server or
- Client commands?
-
- I also have another question about the NFS server on V3.1. I saw in the
- documentation that we can define a "cluster alias IP address" for
- automatic fail-over of NFS service. It wasn't clear to me exactly how
- and where this is defined. Specifically I would like one node of my
- cluster to be the master NFS server, but if that node crashes I would
- like another specific node to pick up the alias. How do I tell Multinet
- that VAX5 for example should start answering the IP alias address and
- that VAX9 should be the backup node?
-
- Thanks for any help you can give.
