There is a problem with nfs server on cluster, unless the filesystem is a clustered file system--like gnbd+gfs on linux. Think of this scenario: you export /mnt/fs1 from serverA. In the event of failover, you want to export that file system from Server B. To do this, server B should be connected to the same storage; in the event of failover, one should import dg, then start the volume, then mount that /dev/vx/dsk on /mnt/fs1, then export that file system. In the process, you need to up a virtual interface with serverA on serverB. These are the quirks you need to work out.
