HP StorageWorks X5500 Network Storage Gateway for Linux setup guide (AP811-96003, October 2009)

mx --matrix nodeA config fcfencing
mx --matrix nodeA config mp set <uuid1/partno> [<uuid2/partno>
<uuid3/partno>]
mx --matrix nodeA config snapshot add --method <type> [--options
<method options>]
(This command is needed only if you will be using the snapshot
feature.)
mx --matrix nodeA server add nodeA
mx --matrix nodeA server start nodeA
mx --matrix nodeA config description <description>
The cluster is now configured and HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux is running on nodeA. Repeat
the following commands to add the remaining nodes to the cluster, export the configuration to the
nodes, and start HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux.
mx --matrix nodeA server add <nodename>
mx --matrix nodeA config export <nodename>
mx --matrix nodeA server start <nodename>
The initial configuration of the cluster is complete.
Web management-based fencing
This example assumes the cluster will include four nodes: nodeA, nodeB, nodeC, and nodeD. The
commands are run from nodeA by a user having the appropriate HP X5500 Storage Gateway for
Linux permissions on that node.
IMPORTANT:
The mx config check command can be used between the steps of the sequence to validate the
configuration. It is especially important to run the command before issuing the start and export
commands. Be sure to correct any issues reported by the mx config check command before
continuing with the sequence.
The command sequence is:
mx --matrix nodeA config loaddrivers
mx --matrix nodeA config license <file name>
mx --matrix nodeA config secret <alphanumeric key>
mx --matrix nodeA config protocol [Multicast|Unicast]
mx --matrix nodeA config santype [fc|iscsi]
mx --matrix nodeA config fcswitch [--community <string>] <switch> ...
(This command is optional for santype fc and not applicable for
santype iSCSI.)
mx --matrix nodeA config webfencing --ruser <user name> --vendor <vendor>
--mixedvendor yes|no --hostname <name>|--hostsuffix <suffix>|
--ipdelta <delta> [--type reset|shutdown] [--bladeslot <slot>]
[--sharedlogin yes|no] [--rpassword <password>]
mx --matrix nodeA config mp set <uuid1/partno> [<uuid2/partno> <uuid3/partno>]
mx --matrix nodeA config snapshot add --method <type> [--options
<method options>]
(This command is needed only if you will be using the snapshot feature.)
mx --matrix nodeA server add nodeA
mx --matrix nodeA server start nodeA
