Chapter 14: Test Your Configuration 141
Test SAN Connectivity and Shared Filesystem
Operation
Use the following procedure to test basic SAN connectivity and shared
filesystem operation in your cluster:
1. From the HP CFS Management Console, log into one of the cluster
servers.
2. Import an unused SAN disk into your cluster configuration.
3. Create a PSFS filesystem on an unused partition on this disk.
4. Log into each of the servers as Administrator and perform some basic
I/O tests to the shared filesystem using a tool such as WinZip. Verify
that changes to the filesystem made by each server are visible to all
other servers in the cluster.
Test Filesystem Failure Recovery
1. Configure the cluster with a shared filesystem as described in the
previous procedure.
2. Pull the LAN network connection(s) from one of the servers. Verify
that this server is unable to access the shared filesystem. Verify that
the other servers in the cluster are still able to access the shared
filesystem.
3. Reconnect the LAN network to the server and then reboot it. Verify
that the server, upon rebooting, is able to mount the shared filesystem.
Verify that all servers are able to access the shared filesystem.
4. Pull the SAN network connection(s) from one of the servers. Verify
that this server is unable to access the shared filesystem. Verify that
the other servers in the cluster are still able to access the shared
filesystem.
5. Reconnect the SAN network to the server and then reboot it. Verify
that the server, upon rebooting, is able to mount the shared filesystem.
Verify that all servers are able to access the shared filesystem.
6. Power off one of the servers. Verify that the other servers in the cluster
are still able to access the shared filesystem.
