Configure the Cluster from the
Command Line
HP Clustered File System provides mx commands that can be used to
create the initial cluster configuration. These commands are equivalent to
the Configure Cluster graphical user interface described in Chapter 3 and
can be used in configuration scripts. We recommend that you review the
description of the Configure Cluster window (see section “16. Configure
the Cluster” on page 27) to become familiar with the actions performed
by the mx commands.
NOTE: Before configuring a cluster from the command line, steps 1
through 15 in Chapter 3, “Install HP StorageWorks Clustered File
System,” must be completed on each node.
Command Sequence
When performing the initial configuration of a cluster, the commands
must be entered in a specific order. The following examples show the
necessary sequences for FibreChannel switch-based fencing and web
management-based fencing.
The mx commands used in these examples are described under
“Command Descriptions” on page 51.
FibreChannel Switch-Based Fencing
This example assumes the cluster will include four nodes: nodeA, nodeB,
nodeC, and nodeD. The commands are run from nodeA by a member of
the machine’s local Administrators group on that node.
