4.9 Changing Partition or Node Information

The GFS Local File System stores partition information that constitutes the file system and node information related to the nodesTerm that share the file system in each partition.

This configuration is for the purpose of supporting a multi-partition configuration and an environment in which the respective devices in individual nodes that share the file system can have different numbers.

Use the sfxadm(1M) command to change partition information.

Use the sfxnode(1M) command to change node information.

Partition and node information include the following items:

[Partition information]

[Node information]

To change the file system to the HA configuration, use the sfxadm(1M) command to update partition information.

The following is an example procedure of updating the partition information and enabling the use of the file system that had previously been used for the normal configuration is changed to the HA configuration.

See the manual for the sfxadd(1M) command for details on the options of the sfxadm(1M) command.

# sfxadm /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0301,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0400,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0500,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0601

When a node that is to share the file system is added, the node configuration information (host ID and name) has to be re-defined, as shown above. Set the number of special devices as seen from the sharing local node to the partition configuration information.

The following is an example specification for sharing the file system with the node by using the sfxnode(1M) command.

See the manual for the sfxnode(1M) command for details on the options of the sfxnode(1M) command.

# sfxnode /dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0301,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0400,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol050s0,/dev/sfdsk/gfs/rdsk/vol0601
