HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1 for Linux Installation Guide (May 2006)

Appendix B: Configure the Cluster from the Command Line 60
• LUNs. You will need to create a partition on each LUN. Answer yes on
the Create Membership Partitions window and then use fdisk to
create a partition on each LUN. These partitions can then be used for
the membership partitions.
• Regular disk partitions. If you need to modify the partitioning on the
disks that will contain the membership partitions, answer Yes on the
Create Cluster Membership Partitions window to invoke the fdisk
utility on those disks. (8 MB is adequate for a membership partition.)
Be sure that the partition layout is adequate for your future needs.
When you start Clustered File System, the disks containing the
membership partitions will be imported into the cluster. These disks
cannot be removed from the cluster while Clustered File System is
running. If you need to repartition a disk containing a membership
partition, you will need to stop Clustered File System before you
change the layout. While the cluster is stopped, you will not be able to
access other disks in the cluster.
If you chose to run fdisk, you will be asked to select the disk or LUN
where you want to modify the partitioning. The fdisk utility will then be
invoked on that disk or LUN. When you have completed your changes,
you can select another disk or LUN to be modified with fdisk. When you
have finished modifying partitions, select Cancel.
