Use the sfcsetup(8) command with the -c option to initializing the management partition.
See
For details on sfcsetup(8), see sfcsetup(8).
Note
To initialize the management partition, sfcfrmd daemon must have already been stopped on the cluster system.
The example of initializing /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/control as a management partition is shown as follows.
# sfcsetup -c /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/control <Enter> |
Note
Please confirm whether to meet the following requirements beforehand in the case re-initialized the management partition.
All the GFS Shared File Systems must be deleted.
All the node information must not be registered in the management partition.
When a partition that is already initialized as the management partition is to be initialized again, execute the command with the -f option specified, as shown below:
# sfcsetup -c -f /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/control <Enter> |
Note
Initialization of a management partition sets the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode to wait. Use the sfcsetup(8) command with the -m option to change the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode.
See
For details of the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode, see "9.5.1 Choosing the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode."
For details of changing the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode, see "9.5.3 Changing the sfcfrmd daemon's startup mode."
