How to Add a StorEdge D1000 Disk Drive

Use this procedure to add a disk drive to an existing cluster. Perform the steps in this procedure in conjunction with the procedures in Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide and your server hardware manual.

For conceptual information on quorum, quorum devices, global devices, and device IDs, see Sun Cluster 3.0 Concepts.

1. Locate an empty disk slot in the disk array for the disk drive you want to add.

   Identify the disk slot in the disk array for the disk drive being added, and note the target number. Refer to the documentation that shipped with your StorEdge D1000 disk array.

2. Install the disk drive.

   For more information, see the documentation that shipped with the disk array.

3. On all nodes attached to the disk array, configure the disk drive.

   # cfgadm -c configure cN # devfsadm

4. On all nodes, ensure that entries for the disk drive have been added to the /dev/rdsk directory.

   # ls -l /dev/rdsk

5. If needed, use the format(1M) command or the fmthard(1M) command to partition the disk drive.

6. From any node, update the global device namespace.

   If a volume management daemon such as vold is running on your node, and you have a CD-ROM drive connected to the node, a device busy error might be returned even if no disk is in the drive. This error is an expected behavior.

   # scgdevs

7. On all nodes, verify that a device ID (DID) has been assigned to the disk drive.

   # scdidadm -l

   ---

   Note -

   As shown in "Example--Adding a StorEdge D1000 Disk Drive", the DID 35 assigned to the new disk drive might not be in sequential order in the disk array.

8. Perform volume management administration to add the new disk drive to the configuration.

   For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

9. If you want this new disk drive to be a quorum device, add the quorum device.

   Refer to Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide for the procedure on adding a quorum device.
