In the GFS Shared File System, a setup for mounting and unmounting automatically at the time of system starting and ending differs from ufs settings.
Parameter "mount at boot" in /etc/vfstab for all GFS Shared File Systems must be set to "no". A setup of the automatic mount at system startup is determined by setting a parameter "mount options" to "noauto" in /etc/vfstab or not.
When noauto is not described in the mount options field of /etc/vfstab, the automatic mounting is performed on system startup by activation of GFS service of Service Management Facility (SMF). Fault Managed Resource Identifier (FMRI) of GFS service is as follows:
svc:/milestone/fjsvgfsfsrm
When noauto is described in the mount options field of /etc/vfstab, the automatic mounting is not performed on system startup.
GFS Shared File Systems are automatically unmounted by discontinuation of GFS service of SMF when the system is shut down.
Note
It is necessary to set the management partition and the GDS volumes where partitions of the GFS Shared File System that will automatically be mounted are allocated to automatically become ACTIVE during system startup.
