4.
Create a virtual drive volume from the volume group of size X (gigabytes) by entering the following command:
lvcreate --size XXXG vol_grp0
Best Practice: Use the command vgdisplay to display X size information for the volume group.
The system now has the following device file (BlockDevice): /dev/vol_grp0/lvol0. The GFS2 file system is a cluster
file system that allows for shared storage access.
NOTE
The Cluster Name is the name that you specified in
5.
Perform the following step to apply this file system to the virtual drives created in the previous step.
mkfs.gfs2 -p lock_dlm -t ClusterName:FSName -j NumberJournals BlockDevice
For example, using the virtual drive created in the previous step, the result is:
mkfs.gfs2 -p lock_dlm -t YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME:V1 -j 2 /dev/vol_grp0/lvol0.
6.
Create mount points from each server node.
For example, you can create a mount point by entering the following command: /root/mnt/vol1.
