How to Modify a Quorum Device Node List

You can use the clsetup(1CL) utility to add a node to or remove a node from the node list of an existing quorum device. To modify a quorum device's node list, you must remove the quorum device, modify the physical connections of nodes to the quorum device you removed, then add the quorum device to the cluster configuration again. When a quorum device is added, clquorum(1CL) automatically configures the node-to-disk paths for all nodes attached to the disk.

The phys-schost# prompt reflects a global-cluster prompt. Perform this procedure on a global cluster.

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix B, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands.

1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization on any node of the cluster.

2. Determine the name of the quorum device you are modifying.

   # clquorum list -v

3. Start the clsetup utility.

   # clsetup

   The Main Menu is displayed.

4. Type the number that corresponds to the Quorum option.

   The Quorum Menu is displayed.

5. Type the number that corresponds to the option to remove a quorum device.

   Follow the instructions. You will be asked the name of the disk to be removed.

6. Add or delete the node connections to the quorum device.

7. Type the number that corresponds to the option to add a quorum device.

   Follow the instructions. You will be asked the name of the disk to be used as the quorum device.

8. Verify that the quorum device has been added.

   # clquorum list -v

Example 6–7 Modifying a Quorum Device Node List

The following example shows how to use the clsetup utility to add nodes to or delete nodes from a quorum device node list. In this example, the quorum device name is d2, and the final result of the procedures adds another node to the quorum device node list.

[Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization on 
any node in the cluster.]

[Determine the quorum device name:]
# clquorum list -v
Quorum            Type
-------            -----
d2                 shared_disk
sc-phys-schost-1   node
sc-phys-schost-2   node
sc-phys-schost-3   node

[Start the clsetup utility:]
# clsetup

[Type the number that corresponds with the quorum option.]
.
[Type the number that corresponds with the option to remove a quorum device.]
.
[Answer the questions when prompted.]
[You will need the following information:]

   Information:			Example:
   Quorum Device Name: 	d2

[Verify that the clquorum command completed successfully:]
 clquorum remove d2
     Command completed successfully.

[Verify that the quorum device was removed.]
# clquorum list -v
Quorum            Type
-------            -----
sc-phys-schost-1   node
sc-phys-schost-2   node
sc-phys-schost-3   node

[Type the number that corresponds with the Quorum option.]
.
[Type the number that corresponds with the option to add a quorum device.]
.
[Answer the questions when prompted.]
[You will need the following information:]

   Information            Example:
   quorum device name     d2

[Verify that the clquorum command was completed successfully:] 
clquorum add d2
     Command completed successfully.

Quit the clsetup utility.

[Verify that the correct nodes have paths to the quorum device. 
In this example, note that phys-schost-3 has been added to the 
enabled hosts list.]
# clquorum show d2 | grep Hosts
=== Quorum Devices ===

Quorum Device Name:		d2
   Hosts (enabled):		phys-schost-1, phys-schost-2, phys-schost-3

[Verify that the modified quorum device is online.]

# clquorum status d2
=== Cluster Quorum ===

--- Quorum Votes by Device ---

Device Name       Present      Possible      Status
-----------       -------      --------      ------
