Example--Sample File System Allocations
Table 1-2 shows a partitioning scheme for a cluster node that has less than 750 Mbytes of physical memory. This scheme will be installed with the Solaris operating environment End User System Support software group, Sun Cluster software, and the Sun Cluster HA for NFS data service. The last slice on the disk, slice 7, is allocated with a small amount of space for volume manager use.
This layout allows for the use of either Solstice DiskSuite software or VxVM. If you use Solstice DiskSuite software, you use slice 7 for the replica database. If you use VxVM, you later free slice 7 by assigning it a zero length. This layout provides the necessary two free slices, 4 and 7, and it provides for unused space at the end of the disk.
