16.3 Notes on Management

If a failure occurs in the management partition, the GFS Shared File System within a cluster system stops. To protect the management partitions, Fujitsu recommends mirroring of the GDS volumes used for management partitions.

Also, prior to changing the configuration of the file system, make a backup of the management partition information by executing the sfcgetconf(1M) command.

For details on backup of the management partition, see Section 20.5, " Backup of the management partition information." and Section 20.6, "Restoration of the management partition information."
