See

Refer to the PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide for information on how to create a file system on a GDS volume.

2.3.4.1 Creating a File System

Select a file system configuration from the configuration menu in the [Global Disk Services] window in the PRIMECLUSTER Web-Based Admin View, and then create a file system.

2.3.4.2 Editing Configuration Files

Edit /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab.pcl on each node, as follows:

/etc/fstab
Add the "ro" attribute to the entries for the file system for monitoring, as follows:

# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0001 /mnt/swdsk1 ext3 noauto 0 0
/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0002 /mnt/monitor1 ext3 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0003 /mnt/swdsk2 ext3 noauto 0 0
/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0004 /mnt/monitor2 ext3 noauto,ro 0 0

/etc/fstab.pcl
Copy the entries shown above, and then prefix each line with #RMS#, as follows:

# cat /etc/fstab.pcl
#RMS#/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0001 /mnt/swdsk1 ext3 noauto 0 0
#RMS#/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0002 /mnt/monitor1 ext3 noauto,ro 0 0
#RMS#/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0003 /mnt/swdsk2 ext3 noauto 0 0
#RMS#/dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0004 /mnt/monitor2 ext3 noauto,ro 0 0

2.3.4.3 Checking

Ensure that each file system can be mounted.

# mount -t ext3 /dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0001 /mnt/swdsk1
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0002 /mnt/monitor1
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0003 /mnt/swdsk2
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sfdsk/class0001/dsk/volume0004 /mnt/monitor2
# umount /mnt/swdsk1
# umount /mnt/monitor1
# umount /mnt/swdsk2
# umount /mnt/monitor2
