NFSRestart agent

The NFSRestart agent recovers NFS record locks after sudden reboots or crashes on clients and servers. This avoids file corruption and provides high availability for NFS record locks.

The NFSRestart agent brings online, takes offline, and monitors the three daemons: smsyncd, statd, and lockd. If you have configured the NFSRestart agent for lock recovery, the NFSRestart agent starts the smsyncd daemon. The daemon copies the NFS information on the location of connections from the shared-storage to the local directory (/var/statmon/sm) and vice-versa.

Note   NFSv4root and NFSSecurity require AIX 5.3 ML03.
