e. Press ENTER twice to accept the defaults.
f. Enter w to save the configuration.
4. Edit the pool_gfs3.cfg file, which is the GFS pool configuration file, to add the new
partition settings:
poolname pool_gfs3
subpools 1
subpool 0 0 1 gfs_data
pooldevice 0 0 /dev/sdd1
5. Enter the following command to read the configuration file and create the partition
information for GFS:
[root@VTS001 root]# pool_tool -c pool_gfs3.cfg
6. Enter the following command to assemble the pool partition:
[root@VTS001 root]# pool_assemble -a
7. Determine the name of your cluster by entering the following command:
[root@VTS001 root]# ccs_read file cluster.ccs
Here is an example of output from this command. In this example, the cluster name is
“Tapeserver.”
cluster {
name = "Tapeserver"
lock_gulm {
servers = ["LosAngeles_vts1.abc.com",
"LosAngeles_vts2.abc.com",
"LosAngeles_vts3.abc.com"]
}
}
8. Enter the following command (for the example above) to create the GFS file system on the
assembled pool and partition:
[root@VTS001 root]# gfs_mkfs -t TapeServer:pool3 -p lock_gulm -j 5
/dev/pool/pool_gfs3
where TapeServer is the name of the cluster and pool3 is any name that is unique. In
this case, the pool is named after the third pool in the cluster.
9. Edit the /etc/fstab file to add an entry similar to the following at the bottom of the file:
/dev/pool/pool_gfs3 /VAULT13 gfs defaults 1 2
In this example, VAULT13 is configured.
10. Perform the following steps on each VTS server in the cluster. These commands add the
vault to the VTS servers.
a. Enter the following command to assemble the pool partition:
[root@VTS001 root]# pool_assemble -a
b. Edit /etc/fstab to add an entry similar to the following at the bottom of the file:
/dev/pool/pool_gfs3 /VAULT13 gfs defaults 1 2
where VAULT13 is the same as the vault configured above.
