ProcedureHow to Create a Resource for a File-System Mountpoint in the Global Cluster

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster maintenance commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix A, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.

Perform this procedure on only one node of the cluster.

  1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.admin and solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorizations.

  2. Create a scalable resource group to contain the resource for a scalable file-system mountpoint.

    If you are also using a volume manager, set a strong positive affinity by the resource group for the resource group that contains the volume manager's scalable device-group resource. This resource group is created in How to Create a Resource for a Scalable Device Group in the Global Cluster.


    Tip –

    If you require Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC to run on all cluster nodes, specify the -S option in the command that follows and omit the options -n, -p maximum_primaries, -p desired_primaries, and -p rg_mode.



    # clresourcegroup create -n nodelist \
    -p desired_primaries=num-in-list \
    -p maximum_primaries=num-in-list \
    [-p rg_affinities=++scal-dg-rg \]
    [-p rg_description="description" \]
    -p rg_mode=Scalable scal-mp-rg
    
  3. Register the SUNW.ScalMountPoint resource type.


    # clresourcetype register SUNW.ScalMountPoint
    
  4. For each shared file system that requires a scalable file-system mountpoint resource, add an instance of the SUNW.ScalMountPoint resource type to the resource group that you created in Step 2.

    • For each Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system, type the following command:

      Set a strong dependency by the instance of SUNW.ScalMountPoint on the resource for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server for the file system. The resource for the Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server set is created in How to Register and Configure Resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS Metadata Server in the Global Cluster.

      If you are also using a volume manager, set an offline-restart dependency by the instance of SUNW.ScalMountPoint on the resource for the scalable device group that is to store the file system. This resource is created in How to Create a Resource for a Scalable Device Group in the Global Cluster.


      # clresource create -t SUNW.ScalMountPoint -g scal-mp-rg \
      -p resource_dependencies=qfs-mds-rs \
      [-p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=scal-dg-rs \]
      -p mountpointdir=mp-path \
      -p filesystemtype=s-qfs \
      -p targetfilesystem=fs-name qfs-mp-rs
      
    • For each file system on a qualified NAS device, type the following command:

      If you are also using a volume manager, set an offline-restart dependency by the instance of SUNW.ScalMountPoint on the resource for the scalable device group that is to store the file system. This resource is created in How to Create a Resource for a Scalable Device Group in the Global Cluster.


      # clresource create -t SUNW.ScalMountPoint -g scal-mp-rg \
      [-p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=scal-dg-rs \]
      -p mountpointdir=mp-path \
      -p filesystemtype=nas \
      -p targetfilesystem=nas-device:fs-name nas-mp-rs
      
  5. Bring online and in a managed state the resource group that you created in Step 2.


    # clresourcegroup online -emM scal-mp-rg
