HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Release Notes - Version 2.3

New and changed features in HP SFS Version 2.31–38
1.8.3.12 Section 3.3.3 Step 3: Running the sfsconfig command after installing the software
The following warning was added:
WARNING! The sfsconfig command must be executed on any new host where SFS is installed. Unless nodes are
strictly identical it is not safe to duplicate configuration files such as the
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre files
from one host to another.
The following table describes the configuration settings handled by sfsconfig:
Configuration File Setting Description
/etc/hosts nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn NICKNAME An entry is required for the nickname
of every SFS server accessed.
/etc/modprobe.conf include /etc/
modprobe.conf.lustre
Makes sure all SFS-specific changes
are grouped together in an include
file. (May be in modprobe.conf.local
in some distributions such as Suse.)
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options kviblnd
hca_basename="InfiniHost_III_
Lx"
Required when SFS is configured with
VIB and the vstat command
returns an
hca_id different than
"InfiniHost". The
hca_id value must
then be assigned to the
kviblnd
hca_basename attribute.
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options kviblnd fmr_remaps=250 Required when SFS is configured with
VIB and when the chip type returned
by the lcpci command is Mellanox
Technologies MT25204 or Mellanox
Technologies M T25218.
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options ko2iblnd ib_mtu=1024 Required when SFS is configured with
OFED (o2ib) and either the server or
client side HCA is a MT23108 TAVOR
HCA. The default OFED 2048 byte
MTU setting is not optimum for
performance
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options lnet mtu=2048 Required when SFS is configured with
OFED (o2ib) and the Infiniband HCA
is memfree (versus memfull).
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options lnet
networks=o2ib0,tcp0(eth1
Defines the actual list and LNET name
of interconnects to use, based on the
list of server and file systems to
access, and the enumeration of local
interconnects available. Sorts the list
for optimal performance; but
preserves priority changes entered
manually, for example in case of
problems with one of the
interconencts.
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre options lnet
portals_compatibility=none
Defines compatibility with SFS 2.1
and SFS 2.2.
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre install lov /sbin/modprobe
lquota ;
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-
install lov
Required for quota support, if the
server supports it.
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre install mdc /sbin/modprobe
lquota ;
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-
install mdc
Required for quota support, if the
server supports it.
