Administering Global Devices, Disk-Path Monitoring, and Cluster File Systems

This chapter provides information about and procedures for administering global devices, disk-path monitoring, and cluster file systems.

For a high-level description of the related procedures in this chapter, see Table 5-4.

For conceptual information related to global devices, the global namespace, device groups, disk-path monitoring, and the cluster file system, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Concepts Guide.
