3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software installation guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96004, October 2009)

Now start HP Scalable NAS on the servers:

mx --matrix nodeA server start <nodename>

The initial configuration of the cluster is complete.

Sample configuration script

The following example shows how a script can be used to configure the cluster.

Although this is a bash script, the same ideas apply to other scripting methods. Note

the following in the sample script:

• The values for the mx commands are specified in a file named cluster.conf.

• The cluster specified by this script uses Fibre Channel switch-based fencing.

• Some commands such as mx config protocol are not included in the script

because the default values for those commands will be used. Also note that mx

config fcfencing does not need to be specified because that is the default.

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f cluster.conf ]; then

echo "you need cluster.conf"

exit 1

set -x

source cluster.conf

MX="mx --matrix ${MATRIX} --user ${USER} --password ${PASSWORD}"

# Configure cluster.

${MX} config loaddrivers || exit 1

${MX} config license ${LICENSE} || exit 1

${MX} config secret ${SECRET} || exit 1

${MX} config fcswitch --community ${COMMUNITY} ${SWITCHES} || exit 1

${MX} config mp set ${MP} || exit 1

# Export the config to all the other nodes and start them up.

${MX} server start ${MATRIX} || exit 1

for NODE in ${NODES}; do

${MX} server add ${NODE} || exit 1

${MX} config export ${NODE} || exit 1 done

The cluster.conf file defines the values for the commands in the script.
