Failover steps for the NFS protocol

Use the following steps on one of the protocol nodes in the secondary cluster to fail over the NFS protocol configuration.

1. Stop the NFS services by issuing the following command:

   # mmces service stop NFS --all

2. Edit the saved gpfs.ganesha.exports.conf export configuration file to remove all exports that are not protected through AFM-DR independent filesets.
3. Restore the NFS-related CCR files. For a list of these files, see NFS data required for protocols cluster DR.
4. Restore the nextexportid CCR variable.
5. Load the exports file by issuing the following command:

   # mmnfs export load /Path_to_CCR_files/gpfs.ganesha.exports.conf

6. Start the NFS services by issuing the following command:

   # mmces service start NFS --all
