Function of the mcf File

The master configuration file (mcf), located in /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/mcf, describes all devices that the Sun QFS or SAM-QFS software controls or uses. When you create this ASCII file at system configuration time, you declare attributes for each device and group the devices in each file system into family sets.

The mcf file contains the information that the 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.

For more information about the mcf file, see Chapter 2, About the Master Configuration File and the mcf(4) man page.
