Label Drives on IRIX
You must label each drive to be used by StorNext FS. A new drive needs to be labeled only one
time. Drive labeling can be performed from any StorNext client that has a Fibre Channel connection
to the drive.
To label a drive:
Step 1 From the system prompt on any StorNext FS client, display a list of connected drives.
Enter:
# /usr/cvfs/bin/cvlabel -1
Step 2 From the output information, identify any drives that are unused or do not have a
recognized Volume Type and write down their associated device names.
Step 3 Create /usr/cvfs/config/cvlabels from the copy of the StorNext FS label file
example. Enter:
# cd/usr/cvfs/config
# cp ../examples/cvlabels.example ./cvlabels
Step 4 Edit /usr/cvfs/config/cvlabels so that it contains a list of StorNext FS label names
that correspond to the device names of the drives captured in Step 2.
CAUTION
The process of disk labeling re-partitions the drives. If you select an
incorrect drive, you may lose data.
CAUTION
Identify any drives that already contain a recognized Volume Type.
Do not write a label to these drives or you may lose data.
