Mount the administrative filesystem on new nodes

When a new node is added to the cluster, you will need to mount the administrative

filesystem on the node. Select the filesystem on the Management Console, right-click,

and select Add Mount, or click Mount on the toolbar. On the Mount Filesystem

window, select the new server from the On Servers pane and click OK. (Do not

change the default mount options.) The filesystem will be mounted immediately at

the mount point specified on the Mount Filesystem window.

You can also use the following command to mount the filesystem:

mx fs mount --path <mountpoint> [--persist] [--activate]

For example, the following command mounts the filesystem on volume psv53 at

mountpoint /_adminfs on server qars5. The filesystem is mounted persistently and

the mount takes place immediately.

mx fs mount ––path /_adminfs ––persist ––activate psv53 qars5

Enlarge the administrative filesystem

The administrative filesystem can be enlarged if necessary. See the description of

the mx config adminfs extend command in the HP Scalable NAS File Serving

Software command reference guide for more information.

Unmount a filesystem

You can unmount a PSFS filesystem from either the Management Console or the

command line.

Unmount from the Management Console

The Management Console provides two ways to unmount a filesystem:

• To unmount a filesystem on one server, select the “Mounted” entry for that server

on the Filesystems window, right-click, and select Unmount. The filesystem will

then be unmounted.

• To unmount a filesystem on more than one server, select the filesystem on the

Filesystems window, right-click, and select Unmount. When the Unmount Filesystem

window appears, select the servers where the filesystem is to be unmounted.
