How to Add a StorEdge 9910/9960 Array Logical Volume to a Cluster

Use this procedure to add a logical volume to a cluster. This procedure assumes that your service provider has created your logical volumes and that all cluster nodes are booted and attached to the StorEdge 9910/9960 array.

1. On all cluster nodes, update the /devices and /dev entries.

   # devfsadm

2. On one node connected to the partner-group, use the format command to verify that the new logical volume is visible to the system.

   # format

   See the format command man page for more information about using the command.

3. Are you running VERITAS Volume Manager?

   • If not, go to Step 4.

   • If you are running VERITAS Volume Manager, update its list of devices on all cluster nodes attached to the logical volume that you created in Step 2.

   See your VERITAS Volume Manager documentation for information about using the vxdctl enable command to update new devices (volumes) in your VERITAS Volume Manager list of devices.

4. If necessary, partition the logical volume.

   Contact your service provider to partition the logical volume.

5. From any node in the cluster, update the global device namespace.

   # scgdevs

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

Where to Go From Here

To create a new resource or reconfigure a running resource to use the new StorEdge 9910/9960 Array logical volume, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide.
