PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide 4.1 (Linux)

9.2.1 Setting shared disks

GFS Shared File System use GDS logical volumes as shared devices. Status of GDS logical volumes must be ACTIVE on each node.

Check that the sharing disk is set for simultaneous access.

If a partition is set as shared disk by automatic detection of shared disks before starting operation, it is already set as a shared disk for simultaneous access. Therefore, there is no need to set it again.

To set a logical volume of GDS, set the type of disk class to which the logical volume belongs as shared, and specifies all nodes that shared the GFS Shared File System within the scope of disk class to which the logical volume belongs.

For operations of the disk class to which the logical volume of GDS belongs, see the applicable items under "Operation using Global Disk Services Management View" in the "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide."

For the logical volume operations of GDS, see the applicable items under "Operation using Global Disk Services Management View" in the "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide."
