About the Master Configuration File

The master configuration file /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/mcf describes all devices that are under the control of, or used by, the Sun QFS or SAM-QFS software. When you create this ASCII file at system configuration time, you declare attributes for each device, and you group the devices in each file system into family sets.

The mcf file contains the information that these file systems need in order to identify and organize RAID and disk devices into file systems. It also contains entries for each automated library or device included in a file system. A sample mcf file is located in /opt/SUNWsamfs/examples/mcf.
