If you added a node to a global cluster, you must update the configuration information of the quorum devices regardless of whether you use shared disks, NAS devices, a quorum server, or a combination. To do this, you remove all quorum devices and update the global-devices namespace. You can optionally reconfigure any quorum devices that you still want to use. This update registers the new node with each quorum device, which can then recalculate its vote count based on the new number of nodes in the cluster.
Any newly configured SCSI quorum devices will be set to SCSI-3 reservations.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have completed installation of the Oracle Solaris Cluster software on the added node.
phys-schost# cluster status -t node
Command output lists each quorum device and each node. The following example output shows the current SCSI quorum device, d3.
phys-schost# clquorum list d3 …
Perform this step for each quorum device that is configured.
phys-schost# clquorum remove device-name
Specifies the name of the quorum device.
If the removal of the quorum devices was successful, no quorum devices are listed.
phys-schost# clquorum status
phys-schost# cldevice populate
The cldevice populate command executes remotely on all nodes, even through the command is issued from just one node. To determine whether the cldevice populate command has completed processing, run the following command on each node of the cluster:
phys-schost# ps -ef | grep scgdevs
You can configure the same device that was originally configured as the quorum device or choose a new shared device to configure.
phys-schost# cldevice list -v
Output resembles the following:
DID Device Full Device Path ---------- ---------------- d1 phys-schost-1:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 d2 phys-schost-1:/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 d3 phys-schost-2:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 d3 phys-schost-1:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 …
phys-schost# clquorum add -t type device-name
Specifies the type of quorum device. If this option is not specified, the default type shared_disk is used.
phys-schost# clquorum list
Output should list each quorum device and each node.
The following example identifies the original SCSI quorum device d2, removes that quorum device, lists the available shared devices, updates the global-device namespace, configures d3 as a new SCSI quorum device, and verifies the new device.
phys-schost# clquorum list d2 phys-schost-1 phys-schost-2 phys-schost# clquorum remove d2 phys-schost# clquorum status … --- Quorum Votes by Device --- Device Name Present Possible Status ----------- ------- -------- ------ phys-schost# cldevice list -v DID Device Full Device Path ---------- ---------------- … d3 phys-schost-2:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 d3 phys-schost-1:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 … phys-schost# cldevice populate phys-schost# ps -ef - grep scgdevs phys-schost# clquorum add d3 phys-schost# clquorum list d3 phys-schost-1 phys-schost-2
