Building an HA Cluster Configuration
Creating a Storage Infrastructure with CVM
Chapter 5232
WARNING The VxVM-CVM-pkg.conf file should never be edited.
After this command completes successfully, you can create disk groups
for shared use as described in the following sections. The cluster is now
running with a special system multi-node package named
VxVM-CVM-pkg, which is on all nodes. This package is shown in the
following output of the cmviewcl command:
CLUSTER STATUS
example up
NODE STATUS STATE
ftsys7 up running
ftsys8 up running
ftsys9 up running
ftsys10 up running
SYSTEM_MULTI_NODE_PACKAGES:
PACKAGE STATUS STATE
VxVM-CVM-pkg up running
Starting the Cluster and Identifying the Master Node
If it is not already running, start the cluster, which will activate the
special CVM package:
# cmruncl
When CVM starts up, it selects a master node, and this is the node from
which you must issue the disk group configuration commands. To
determine the master node, issue the following command from each node
in the cluster:
# vxdctl -c mode
One node will identify itself as the master. Create disk groups from this
node.
