Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide

Example—Mirroring the Global Namespace

The following example shows creation of mirror d101, which consists of submirror d111 on partition c0t0d0s3 and submirror d121 on partition c2t2d0s3. The /etc/vfstab file entry for /global/.devices/node@1 is updated to use the mirror name d101. Disk c2t2d0 is a multiported disk, so the localonly property is enabled.


(Create the mirror)
# metainit -f d111 1 1 c0t0d0s3
d111: Concat/Stripe is setup
# metainit d121 1 1 c2t2d0s3
d121: Concat/Stripe is setup
# metainit d101 -m d111
d101: Mirror is setup
# metattach d101 d121
d101: Submirror d121 is attached
 
(Edit the /etc/vfstab file)
# vi /etc/vfstab
#device		device	mount		FS		fsck		mount		mount
#to mount	to fsck	point		type	pass		at boot	options
#
/dev/md/dsk/d101 /dev/md/rdsk/d101 /global/.devices/node@1 ufs 2 no global
 
(View the sync status)
# metastat d101
d101: Mirror
      Submirror 0: d111
         State: Okay
      Submirror 1: d121
         State: Resyncing
      Resync in progress: 15 % done

(Identify the DID name of the mirrored disk's raw
disk device group)
# scdidadm -L
...
1         phys-schost-3:/dev/rdsk/c2t2d0     /dev/did/rdsk/d2
 
(Display the node list of the mirror disk's raw
disk device group)
# scconf -pvv | grep dsk/d2
Device group name:						dsk/d2
...
  (dsk/d2) Device group node list:		phys-schost-1, phys-schost-3
...
 
(Remove phys-schost-3 from the node list for the
raw disk device group)
# scconf -r -D name=dsk/d2,nodelist=phys-schost-3
 
(Enable the localonly property of the mirrored disk's
raw disk device group)
# scconf -c -D name=dsk/d2,localonly=true
