HP 3PAR X9000 File Serving Software (IBRIX) Implementation Guide (QL226-96987, June 2013)

If the exported LUNs are already provisioned or discovered on the host by using the native scan
such as echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan, then execute the ibrix_pv or
Discover Device command for the device to be seen by the StoreAll 9300.
If the LUN is not discovered natively on the host then perform the ibrix_pv command twice. The
first instance discovers the device on the host. The second instance adds the device to the StoreAll
9300.
The following events appear in the /var/log/messages file in each of the cluster node which
matches the ibrix_pv output:
Creating and Deleting a File System
File systems can be created through the StoreAll OS CLI or GUI. This section describes general
steps and commands that are required to create file system through the StoreAll OS CLI.
1. To create a file system on StoreAll 9300 host, you first need to create the required VVs on the
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. VVs can be TPVVs or FPVVs. VVs can be created using CPGs or
PDs. These VVs are then exported to StoreAll 9300 host.
2. Exported volumes from HP 3PAR must be discovered in the StoreAll 9300 host using the
ibrix_pv command. These VVs will be seen as physical volumes in the StoreAll 9300 host.
After discovering the physical volumes, you can create a file system using the physical volumes
that were discovered at the StoreAll 9300 host. The file system can be created and mounted
simultaneously using a single command:
# ibrix_fs -c -f FSNAME -s LVLIST [-t TIERNAME] [-a] [-q] [-o
OPTION1=VALUE1,OPTION2=VALUE2,...] [-t TIERNAME] [-F FMIN:FMAX:FTOTAL] [-D
DMIN:DMAX:DTOTAL]
For example, to create and mount the file system fs1 using the physical volumes d1, d2, and
d3, you can use the following command:
# ibrix_fs -c -f fs1 -s d1,d2,d3 –a
3. Before deleting a file system, unmount it from all file serving nodes and clients. To unmount
the file system, you can use the following command:
# ibrix_umount -f FSNAME [-h HOSTLIST |-g GROUPLIST] [-X]
