3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software administration guide - HP Scalable NAS 3.7 for Linux (AG513-96002, October 2009)

NOTE:
If you will be using PSFS filesystems for Oracle, see Appendix B in the HP Scalable
NAS File Serving Software provisioning guide for Oracle for configuration
information, including the necessary mount options.
Administrative filesystem
The HP Scalable NAS administrative filesystem has been created on a 50GB vdisk
that is mounted on /_adminfs. For more information about the administrative
filesystem, see Create the administrative filesystem, page 139.
Add new filesystems
Use the following procedure to add a new filesystem to the cluster.
1. Use Command View on ABM to configure the LUNs to be used for the filesystem
and make them visible to all HP 4400 Scalable NAS systems in the cluster.
2. Open the HP Scalable NAS Management Console, which can be used for the
following steps.
3. Import the disks into the cluster. This step allows the cluster to control access to
the disks. See Chapter 6, page 85.
4. Create a dynamic volume. Dynamic volumes allow large PSFS filesystems to
span multiple disks or LUNs. See Chapter 7, page 103.
5. Create the new filesystem with the appropriate options such as block size and
disk quotas. See Chapter 8, page 121.
6. Mount the new filesystem. See Mount a filesystem, page 132. For filesystems that
will be exported via NFS, also see Mount PSFS filesystems, page 165.
Membership partitions
HP Scalable NAS uses a set of membership partitions to control access to the SAN
and to store certain cluster configuration information. The membership partitions are
located on three 1GB vdisks in the array. Write access to the membership partitions
is disabled to prevent accidental corruption from other applications.
