Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 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 device-ID 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 device-group node list)
# 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)
# scconf -r -D name=dsk/d2,nodelist=phys-schost-3
 
(Enable the localonly property)
# scconf -c -D name=dsk/d2,localonly=true
