PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide 4.2 (Solaris(TM) Operating Environment)

21.2 Creation

This section explains how to create a file system.

It is easy to create a file system because the file system creation operation uses a wizard.

To start the file system creation wizard, Click [Create] on the [Operation] drop-down menu.

Note of Operation

• If the assigned values are invalid, the <Back> button may be clicked to display the previous screen.
• The information for the Management View must be updated before the changes are reflected. To immediately update the information, on the main screen click [Update Now] on the [View] drop-down menu.

When a file system is created using the GUI, it may affect the file system access performance because the initialization processing of a meta-data area is done after the MDS has been started. Create the file system by issuing the scfnewfs(1M) command if you want to complete the initialization processing of the meta-data area when the file system is created. The initialization processing of the meta-data area is completed by specifying the -c option for the sfcnewfs(1M) command.
