3. Creating an HDLM Environment
232
If there is more than one candidate for the controller number to be assigned in step
4, you might not be able to remove devices from VxVM in one operation. In this
case, change the controller number you changed in step 4 to another controller
number that was displayed using the
vxdmpadm
command, and then perform
steps 5 and 6 again.
3.13.4 Introducing VxVM while Using HDLM
To introduce VxVM in an environment in which HDLM is being used:
1.
Create a disk group in accordance with the procedure described in
3.13.1 Creating a Disk Group.
Do not register a disk group containing an HDLM device as
bootdg
.
For information on creating a disk group or a volume for HDLM devices, refer to
the VxVM documentation.
2. To use Sun Cluster, perform step 5 in 3.13.5 Linking VxVM and Sun Cluster.
3.13.5 Linking VxVM and Sun Cluster
To create a file system on an HDLM device managed by VxVM and use it with Sun
Cluster, perform the following procedure to create the file system:
1.
On each node, execute the
vxdisk list
command to verify that VxVM
recognizes the HDLM device.
2. On one of the nodes, execute the following command to check the device ID of
the HDLM device:
# /usr/cluster/bin/scdidadm -L
3. If a VxVM disk group has not been created, execute the
vxdiskadm
utility of
VxVM on one of the nodes to create a disk group for the HDLM device.
For details, see 3.13.1 Creating a Disk Group.
Note
Use the
scswitch
and
shutdown
commands to restart the node.
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -S -h phys-schost-1
# shutdown -g0 -y -i6
4. Verify that the VxVM disk group has been imported into only one of the nodes
that constitute a cluster.
If the VxVM disk group has been deported from all nodes, import the VxVM disk
