How to Add a ZFS Storage Pool to a Zone Cluster (clsetup)

How to Add a ZFS Storage Pool to a Zone Cluster (`clsetup`)

Ensure that the ZFS pool is connected on shared disks that are connected to all nodes of the zone cluster. See Managing ZFS File Systems in Oracle Solaris 11.4 for procedures to create a ZFS pool.

Perform this procedure to add a ZFS storage pool to a zone cluster. The pool can be local to a single zone-cluster node or configured with HAStoragePlus to be highly available.

The clsetup utility discovers and displays all configured ZFS pools on the shared disks that can be accessed by the nodes where the selected zone cluster is configured. After you use the clsetup utility to add a ZFS storage pool in cluster scope to an existing zone cluster, you can use the clzonecluster command to modify the configuration or to add a ZFS storage pool in node-scope.

Note:

Alternatively, you can use either the command line or Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager to perform this task. To use the command line to perform this task, see How to Add a ZFS Storage Pool to a Zone Cluster (CLI). To use the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface to perform this task, click Zone Clusters, click the zone cluster name to go to its page, click the Solaris Resources tab, then in the Datasets for ZFS Storage Pools section, click Add. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager in Administering an Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4 Configuration.

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

You perform all steps of this procedure from a node of the global cluster.
Start the clsetup utility.
```
phys-schost# clsetup
```
The Main Menu is displayed.

Tip:
To return to a previous screen, type the < key and press Return.
Choose the Zone Cluster menu item.

The Zone Cluster Tasks Menu is displayed.
Choose the Add File System/Storage Device to a Zone Cluster menu item.

The Select Zone Cluster menu is displayed.
Choose the zone cluster where you want to add the ZFS storage pool.

The Storage Type Selection menu is displayed.
Choose the ZFS menu item.

The ZFS Pool Selection for the Zone Cluster menu is displayed.
Choose the ZFS pool you want to add to the zone cluster.

The ZFS pools in the list are those that are configured on the shared disks and can be accessed by the nodes where the zone cluster is configured. You can also type e to manually specify properties for a ZFS pool.

The ZFS Pool Dataset Property for the Zone Cluster menu is displayed. The selected ZFS pool is assigned to the name property.
Type d and press Return.

The Review File Systems/Storage Devices for the Zone Cluster menu is displayed.

Type c to save the configuration change.

The results of your configuration change are displayed. For example:

 >>> Result of Configuration Change to the Zone Cluster(sczone) <<<

Adding file systems or storage devices to sczone zone cluster...

The zone cluster is being created with the following configuration

/usr/cluster/bin/clzonecluster configure sczone
add dataset
set name=myzpool5
end

Configuration change to sczone zone cluster succeeded.

When finished, exit the clsetup utility.

Verify the addition of the file system.

phys-schost# clzonecluster show -v zoneclustername

To make the ZFS storage pool highly available, configure the pool with an HAStoragePlus resource.

The HAStoragePlus resource manages the mounting of file systems in the pool on the zone-cluster node that currently hosts the applications that are configured to use the file system.
