You perform the following primary tasks to make a local Solaris ZFS (Zettabyte File System) highly available:
Create a ZFS storage pool.
Create a ZFS file system in that ZFS storage pool.
Set up the HAStoragePlus resource that manages the ZFS storage pool.
This section describes how to complete both tasks.
Create a ZFS storage pool.
Do not add a configured quorum device to a ZFS storage pool. When a configured quorum device is added to a storage pool, the disk is relabeled as an EFI disk, the quorum configuration information is lost, and the disk no longer provides a quorum vote to the cluster. Once a disk is in a storage pool, you can configure that disk as a quorum device. Or, you can unconfigure the disk, add it to the storage pool, then reconfigure the disk as a quorum device.
Observe the following requirements when you create a ZFS storage pool in a Sun Cluster configuration:
Ensure that all of the devices from which you create a ZFS storage pool are accessible from all nodes in the cluster. These nodes must be configured in the node list of the resource group to which the HAStoragePlus resource belongs.
Ensure that the Solaris device identifier that you specify to the zpool(1M) command, for example /dev/dsk/c0t0d0, is visible to the cldevice list -v command.
The ZFS storage pool can be created using a full disk or a disk slice. It is preferred to create a ZFS storage pool using a full disk by specifying a Solaris logical device as ZFS file system performs better by enabling the disk write cache. ZFS file system labels the disk with EFI when a full disk is provided.
See Creating a ZFS Storage Pool in Solaris ZFS Administration Guide for information about how to create a ZFS storage pool.
In the ZFS storage pool that you just created, create a ZFS file system.
You can create more than one ZFS file system in the same ZFS storage pool.
HAStoragePlus does not support file systems created on ZFS file system volumes.
Do not place a ZFS file system in the FilesystemMountPoints extension property.
See Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy in Solaris ZFS Administration Guide for information about how to create a ZFS file system in a ZFS storage pool.
On any node in the cluster, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
Create a failover resource group.
# clresourcegroup create resource-group |
Register the HAStoragePlus resource type.
# clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus |
Create a HAStoragePlus resource for the local ZFS file system.
# clresource create -g resource-group -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \ -p Zpools=zpool -p ZpoolsSearchDir=/dev/did/dsk \ resource |
The default location to search for devices of ZFS storage pools is /dev/dsk. It can be overridden by using the ZpoolsSearchDir extension property.
The resource is created in the enabled state.
Bring online and in a managed state the resource group that contains the HAStoragePlus resource.
# clresourcegroup online -M resource-group |
