VCS 4.1with NFS client

Hi Gurus,
We are in a process of moving from SAN to NetApp NAS (NFS client) for
our sendmail application on Solaris 9 with VCS 4.1 for which i am
setting up dependency tree in main.cf of VCS 4.1. I found the NFS
client agent from NetApp web site and installed the same. The
instalaltion was pretty straightforward. I added the agent to main.cf
and here is my sample main.cf looks like for NFS client


include "types.cf"
include "NetAppTypes.cf"

cluster choad (
UserNames = { admin = "cDRpdxPmHpzS." }
Administrators = { admin }
CounterInterval = 5
)

system merlot (
)

system pinot (
)

group netapp_group (
SystemList = { pinot = 0, merlot = 1 }
PrintTree = 0
AutoStartList = { pinot }
)

NetAppExport example_export (
FilerResName = example_filer
FilerPathName = "/vol/vcs_test1"
MountPoint = "/mnt/export1"
MountOptions = rw,hard,proto=tcp, vers=3
NodeNICs = { merlot = "merlot:merlot-ge",
pinot = "pinot:pinot-ge" }
)

NetAppFiler example_filer (
FilerName = "filer01"
)

example_export requires example_filer

Now my main concern is i have an application which depends on the mount
point /mnt/export1. If the mount point is not there application
shouldn't start it should fail. With SAN configuration i was defining
Mount resource as below:

Mount TEST_MOUNT (
MountPoint = "/mnt/export1"
BlockDevice = "/dev/vx/dsk/VOL/SAMS"
FSType = vxfs
MountOpt = noatime
FsckOpt = "-y"

and then used to put dependency tree as application requires TEST_MOUNT.
and Mount was dependent of veritas volume which inturn depends on
veritas DG.
What should be the equivalent with NAS NFS client? Or any better way of
doing this in NAS NFS client? This VCS node will be only NFS clients.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
shahb
