HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Installation Guide (418975-003, January 2008)
Appendix A: Configure the Cluster from the Command Line 52
mx config fcswitch [--community <string>] <switch> ...
Configuring FibreChannel switches is required for FibreChannel
switch-based fencing and optional for web management-based
fencing. Specify the hostnames or IP addresses of the switches that are
directly connected to the nodes in the cluster, including cascading
switches. If you are using an MPIO configuration, be sure to configure
all of the switches.
The default SNMP community string for HP Clustered File System is
private. If you want to use a custom community string, include the --
community <string> option. The SNMP community string must be set
to the same value on HP Clustered File System and the SAN switches.
mx config fcfencing
With FibreChannel switch-based fencing, when a server needs to be
fenced, HP Clustered File System will disable the server’s access in the
FibreChannel fabric. The server must be rebooted to regain access to
the SAN.
mx config mp set <uuid1/partno> [<uuid2/partno> <uuid3/partno>]
HP Clustered File System uses a set of membership partitions to
control access to the SAN and to store the device naming database,
which includes the global device names that HP Clustered File System
assigns to the SAN disks placed under its control. Specify either one or
three LUNs or disk partitions be to used as membership partitions.
Note the following:
– LUNs must already be partitioned as described in step “11. Create
LUNs for the Membership Partitions and Modify Partition Tables”
on page 22.
– Existing partitions used for membership partitions cannot contain
Windows filesystems. See “Partitions Containing Windows
Filesystems” on page 23.
– The minimum size for a membership partition is 1GB.
mx server add <node>
Add the specified node to the cluster.
