GIVE Command
•
In a ServerNet Nomadic Disk environment, all data segments must be owned by the
same node. Therefore, whenever a data segment is given away, all data segments
are given away unless explicit instructions indicate otherwise.
•
The GIVE command implicitly performs a DOWN VOLUMES command. Before a
segment can be given away, all volumes on that segment must be stopped. Then, all
paths for that segment are switched to the NOT OWNED state. The GIVE
command performs this sequence for each segment that is to be given away.
•
The results of each intermediate step of a GIVE operation are written to the
Nomadic Disk Manager’s output file. For the GIVE command, the steps are:
1. Stops the volumes
2. Switches paths to NOT OWNED
