Using the Command Line

The Volume Auto-Start List

You can use the fsmlist configuration file to control which file system processes are
automatically started.

For more information, see the fsmlist man page.

Example Auto-Start File

#

# Autostart file

#

# List the primary and backup Stornext File System Services that

# should be started at boot time.

#

# If the service is marked backup it will be launched in a standby mode

# and will only take control if the primary service is down other than

# by the "stop" command.

#

# If this file is changed, it will only be re-scanned if the CVFS Services

# Port Mapper (fsmpm) is notified. This is accomplished as follows:

#

# kill -USR1 `cat /usr/cvfs/bin/fsmpm.pid`

#

# This will force the port mapper to re-scan this file.

#

# File Format:

#

# Spaces and tabs may be used liberally.

# A comment is designated by a pound (#) sign in the first character

# of a line.

#

# Line format is (without the first pound sign):

#

# [] []

#

# where:

#

is the name of the FSM file system. This must match

#

the configuration's file name, (.cfg).

#

This name is Storage Area Network (SAN) wide and must be

#

unique across all the interconnected SAN machines.

#

#

[] is an optional host name for those systems with multiple

#

network adapters, or that are multi-hosted. A period (.) indicates

#

that the system should use the default host name or IP address.

#

#

[] is a number assigned to FSS services to give more

#

determinism to which service can take over a failed service.

#

The lower the value the higher the priority. If there is no

#

priority assigned to a service, it defaults to priority 0.

#

FSS Services with equal priority will not have deterministic fail

# over

characteristics.
