Macintosh shares
A share is any volume, drive, or directory resource that is shared across a network. During failover,
the target can assume or add any source shares so that they remain accessible to the end users.
Automatic share failover only occurs for standard Windows file system shares. Other shares, including
Macintosh volumes, must be configured for failover through the failover scripts or created manually
on the target.
1. On your target, set the File Server for Macintosh service to manual startup. This allows the
post-failover script on the target to control when the service starts on the target.
2. Create each volume on the target machine exactly as it exists on the source. Use the Shared
Folder wizard to configure each volume as a Macintosh-accessible volume. Follow these steps to
start the wizard:
a. Open the Control Panel and click Administrative Tools.
b. Select Configure Your Server.
c. In the Configure Your Server window, click the File Server link.
d. Click Start the Shared Folder wizard to start the wizard, and then follow the directions
provided by the wizard. On the Create Shared Folders screen, you must enable Apple
Macintosh.
3. On the target machine, copy the chngname utility, chngname.exe, from the \tools\Win2K
directory of the Storage Mirroring CD or from the HP web site to the directory where Storage
Mirroring is installed.
4. Add the following to your failover script.
Sample Post-Failover Script for Macintosh Shares
In the event of a failure, the Macintosh clients must remap the volume in order to access it. From the
Macintosh client, use the Chooser to select the volume that needs to be remapped.
NOTE: You can automate the creation of the volumes during the failover process by using
the macfile volume command in the post-failover batch file. For detailed
information on how to use this command, see your Windows reference guide.
