B.2.9 sfcsetup(8) Initialize the management partition, add, delete and display node information, and display the management partition path

<SYNOPSIS>

sfcsetup -c [-f] raw_device_file

sfcsetup -a raw_devece_file

sfcsetup -d

sfcsetup -p

sfcsetup

<DESCRIPTION>

The sfcsetup command is used to initialize the management partition, and to add, delete, and display node information in the management partition, and display the path of management partition.

To initialize the management partition, specify the -c option and the character device. When the specified device seems to have been user for the management partition, perform initialization with the -f option specified. The size of a management partition needs to be 40 Mbyte or more.

To add node information, specify the -a option. When the specified character device has already been initialized for the management partition, node information is added to the management partition for which the command was executed.

To delete node information, specify the -d option. Note, however, that sfcfrmd demon must be stopped in all node of the cluster foundation.

When the command is executed with -p options specified, display the path name of a management partition.

When addition of node information and deletion are performed by the sfcsetup command, add/delete entries of management partition to/from the sfcfsrm.conf file.

<OPTIONS>

The following options can be specified:

-c raw_device_file

Initializes the partition specified in raw_device_file for use as a management partition.

-a raw_device_file

Adds node information.

-d

Deletes node information.

-f

Initialize a character special device that has been used as a management partition.

-p

Display the path name of a management partition.

<OPERAND>

The following operand can be specified:

raw_device_file

Specifies the character special device to be used for the management partition.

<EXAMPLES>

• Initializing a management partition

# sfcsetup -c /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/control

• Initializing a parturition that has previously been used as a management partition.

# sfcsetup -c -f /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/control

• When sfcfrmd is not running in all node of the cluster and adding information for a node.

# sfcsetup -a /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/control

• When sfcfrmd is not running in the cluster and deleting information for a node.

# sfcsetup -d

<FILE>

<NOTE>

• Initialization of a management partition, addition and deletion of node information cannot be performed when the sfcfrmd demon has started.
• Node information shared by a file system cannot be deleted. Please first delete the node information in the file system configuration data on the management partition by using sfcadm(8).
