Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Installation Guide (5900-1510, April 2011)

To verify the agent configuration
◆
Enter the cluster status command from any node in the cluster:
# cfscluster status
Output resembles:
Node : system01
Cluster Manager : running
CVM state : running
No mount point registered with cluster configuration
Node : system02
Cluster Manager : running
CVM state : running
No mount point registered with cluster configuration
Synchronizing time on Cluster File Systems
SFCFS requires that the system clocks on all nodes are synchronized using some
external component such as the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon. If the
nodes are not in sync, timestamps for change (ctime) and modification (mtime)
may not be consistent with the sequence in which operations actually happened.
Configuring VCS for Storage Foundation Cluster File
System
Configuring VCS means conveying to the VCS engine the definitions of the cluster,
service groups, resources, and resource dependencies. VCS uses two configuration
files in a default configuration:
■ The main.cf file defines the entire cluster.
■ The types.cf file defines the resource types.
By default, both files reside in the directory /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config.
Additional files similar to types.cf may be present if agents have been added,
such as OracleTypes.cf.
In a VCS cluster, the first system to be brought online reads the configuration file
and creates an internal (in-memory) representation of the configuration. Systems
brought online after the first system derive their information from systems
running in the cluster. You must stop the cluster while you are modifying the files
