On the Client Side

The client should NFS-mount a file system using the package name in the mount command. The package name is associated with the package’s relocatable IP address. On client systems, be sure to use a hard mount. For auto-mounter, the timeout should be greater than the total end-to-end recovery time for the Serviceguard NFS package—that is, failover time, running fsck, mounting file systems, and exporting file systems on the new node. The default value of the timeout is five minutes. Setting the timeout to zero disables unmounts completely.
