PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide 4.1 (Solaris(TM) Operating System)

A.2.11 GFS Partition on a Keep Disk

Registering a keep disk with the root class causes the device special files of file systems within the keep disk to be renamed. For this reason, when a keep disk registered with the root class contains a partition used by the sfxfs file system, you must make the following modifications for the relevant partition prior to rebooting the system after executing [System Disk Settings] in GDS Management View or the sdxroot -M command.

• Changing the partition information settings

  For details on the method of changing the settings, see "PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide" or the manual page of the sfxadm(1M) command.

• Modifying the /etc/vfstab file

  You must change the device special file name from that for the physical slice to that for the logical volume.

In addition, a GFS Local File System cannot be used as /(root), /usr, /var, or /opt. Also a partition on the system disk cannot be used in a GFS Shared File System. For details, see "PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide."
