Sun Cluster 2.2 System Administration Guide

A.2.4 Administering Disk Groups

For SSVM and CVM, it is most convenient to create and populate disk groups from the active node that is the default master of the particular disk group. In an N+1 configuration, each of these default master nodes shares multihost disk connectivity with only one other node in the cluster, the hot-standby node. By using these nodes to populate the disk groups, you avoid the risk of generating improperly configured groups.
