If you got the error LED 611: failure: mount, it means the lpar was unable to mount that specific nfs mount and most probably you have some errors in nim's nfs configuration.

Normally, the /etc/exports file

should not contain any lines related to nim operations

Debian is great but sometimes basic simple things are missing so we have to step in.
For example, Debian is coming by default with /etc/rc.local where you can put your custom commands which are automatically executed on startup. But what about custom stop script to be executed on shutdown or reboot? This is missing.
No problem! All you can do is follow the instructions below.

1. Edit or replace /etc/init.d/rc.local with this one:

root@pluto:~# cat /etc/init.d/rc.local 
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          rc.local

Before starting, I have to mention this tutorial is not about ZFS Fuse which comes by default with Debian. This is the real deal, the native ZFS for Linux, without fuse support. In theory should be faster and more reliable and according to my tests so far, it is amazing!

First of all, install ZFS:

UPDATE: ZFS packages are included in debian repository. So all you have to do now is:

apt update
apt install dpkg-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64

For that you will have to stop the machines one by one and configure in VirtualBox the serial port. In this example we will use a virtual serial port configured trough a pipe on the host machine.

Candy (node 1) VirtualBox Serial Port Configuration:

Enable Serial Port check box: checked (enabled)
Port Number: COM1
Port Mode: Host Pipe
Create Pipe check box: checked (enabled)
Port/File Path: /tmp/vboxDONOTDELETES0

The moment you start candy, you should see the pipe file in core (host machine) created:

Here you can find some common commands related to DRBD. They will be added once I find use of them on my daily work. Stay tuned!

How to force re-sync by invalidating the data on the node you are in:

root@eave:~# [color=green]drbdadm invalidate nfs[/color]
root@eave:~# cat /proc/drbd

srcversion: F937DCB2E5D83C6CCE4A6C9

STONITH is short for "Shoot The Other Node In The Head". It's a technique for fencing in computer clusters.

Fencing is the isolation of a failed node so that it does not cause disruption to a computer cluster. As its name suggests, STONITH fences failed nodes by resetting or powering down the failed node.

Multi-node error-prone contention in a cluster can have catastrophic results, such as if both nodes try writing to a shared storage resource. STONITH provides effective, if rather drastic, protection against these problems.

In this situation, ssh was unable to start because the wpar was restored from standalone machine backup (mksysb).
However, even if this is not your case, you can try to see if the procedure will fix your ssh.

SSH doesn't want to start:

gzaix@root:/home/root # lssrc -s sshd         
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status 
 sshd             ssh                           inoperative
gzaix@root:/home/root # startsrc -s sshd
0513-059 The sshd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 18415656.

You have upgraded to Yosemite and found this error while trying to upgrade macports via command line?

fmbp:~ root# port -v selfupdate

So you have configured a brand new iscsi disk and want to put it to use in linux client?
No problem, read below!

Note: in our example, the ISCSI server is on 192.168.69.66

1. Discover the disks:

venus:~# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.69.66
192.168.69.66:3260,3 iqn.2014-07.ro.gz.sun:swap-venus

2. activate them:
