4.3. Configuring Samba The following procedure initializes the Samba environment and configures Samba on the cluster nodes. On both nodes of the cluster, perform the following steps: Install the samba , ctdb , and cifs-utils packages. If you are running the firewalld daemon, run the following commands to enable the ports that are required by the ctdb and samba services. Enter the following commands to ensure that these daemons are not running and do not start at bootup. Note that not all of these daemons may be present or running on your system. In the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, configure the Samba server and set up the [public] share definition. For example: For information on configuring Samba as a standalone server, as in this example, as well as information on verifying the smb.conf file with the testparm utility, see the File and Print Servers section of the System Administrator's Guide Add the IP address of the cluster nodes to the /etc/ctdb/nodes file. For load balancing between the nodes of the cluster, you can add two or more IP addresses that can be used to access the Samba shares exported by this cluster to the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file. These are the IP addresses that you should configure in DNS for the name of the Samba server and are the addresses that SMB clients will connect to. Configure the name of the Samba server as one DNS type A record with multiple IP addresses and let round-robin DNS distribute the clients across the nodes of the cluster. For this example, the DNS entry linuxserver.example.com has been defined with both the addresses listed under the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file. With this in place, DNS will distribute the Samba clients across the cluster nodes in a round-robin fashion. Please note that when implementing this scenario, the DNS entries should match your needs. Add the IP addresses that can be used to access the Samba shares exported by this cluster to the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file. Create a Samba group, then add a local user for the public test share directory, setting the previously created group as the primary group. Make sure that the SELinux context are correct in the CTDB-related directories. On one node of the cluster, perform the following steps: Set up the directories for the CTDB lock file and public share. Update the SELinux contexts on the GFS2 share.
