How to Add a Highly Available Local File System to a Zone Cluster (CLI)

Perform this procedure to add a highly available local file system on the global cluster for use by the zone cluster.

Note:

Alternatively, you can use the clsetup utility to perform this task. See How to Add a Highly Available Local File System to a Zone Cluster (clsetup). To add a ZFS pool to a zone cluster, instead perform procedures in How to Add a ZFS Storage Pool to a Zone Cluster (clsetup). Or, to configure a ZFS storage pool to be highly available in a zone cluster, see How to Set Up the HAStoragePlus Resource Type to Make a Local ZFS File System Highly Available in Planning and Administering Data Services for Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4.

1. Assume the root role on a node of the global cluster that hosts the zone cluster.

   You perform all steps of the procedure from a node of the global cluster.

2. On the global cluster, create a file system that you want to use in the zone cluster.

   Ensure that the file system is created on shared disks.

3. Add the file system to the zone-cluster configuration.

   phys-schost# clzonecluster configure zone-cluster-name
   clzc:zone-cluster-name> add fs
   clzc:zone-cluster-name:fs> set dir=mount-point
   clzc:zone-cluster-name:fs> set special=disk-device-name
   clzc:zone-cluster-name:fs> set raw=raw-disk-device-name
   clzc:zone-cluster-name:fs> set type=FS-type
   clzc:zone-cluster-name:fs> end
   clzc:zone-cluster-name> verify
   clzc:zone-cluster-name> commit
   clzc:zone-cluster-name> exit

   dir=mount-point

   Specifies the file system mount point

   special=disk-device-name

   Specifies the name of the disk device

   raw=raw-disk-device-name

   Specifies the name of the raw disk device

   type=FS-type

   Specifies the type of file system

   Note:

   Enable logging for UFS file systems.
4. Verify the addition of the file system.

   phys-schost# clzonecluster show -v zone-cluster-name

Example 6-3 Adding a Highly Available Local File System to a Zone Cluster (CLI)

This example adds the local file system /global/oracle/d1 for use by the sczone zone cluster.

phys-schost-1# clzonecluster configure sczone
clzc:sczone> add fs
clzc:sczone:fs> set dir=/global/oracle/d1
clzc:sczone:fs> set special=/dev/md/oracle/dsk/d1
clzc:sczone:fs> set raw=/dev/md/oracle/rdsk/d1
clzc:sczone:fs> set type=ufs
clzc:sczone:fs> add options [logging]
clzc:sczone:fs> end
clzc:sczone> verify
clzc:sczone> commit
clzc:sczone> exit

phys-schost-1# clzonecluster show -v sczone
…
Resource Name:                            fs

special:                                   /dev/md/oracle/dsk/d1
raw:                                       /dev/md/oracle/rdsk/d1
type:                                      ufs
options:                                   [logging]
cluster-control:                           [true]
…

Next Steps

Configure the file system to be highly available by using an HAStoragePlus resource. The HAStoragePlus resource manages the mounting of the file system on the zone-cluster node that currently host the applications that are configured to use the file system.
