2.3.4 Creating a File System

Create a file system.

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.

/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

Note

Different files are specified depending on the version of the PRIMECLUSTER. Check the version of PRIMECLUSTER being used and edit appropriate files. Refer to the PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide for details.

2.3.4.3 Checking

Start the GDS volume, and ensure that each file system can be mounted on each node.

# 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
