3
Attempt to change the major number on System B (now 36) to match that of
System A (32). Use the command:
# haremajor -sd major_number
For example, on Node B, enter:
# haremajor -sd 32
4
If the command succeeds, go to step 8.
5
If the command fails, you may see a message resembling:
Error: Preexisting major number 32
These are available numbers on this system: 128...
Check /etc/name_to_major on all systems for
available numbers.
6
Notice that the number 36 (the major number on Node A) is not available on
Node B. Run the haremajor command on Node B and change it to 128,
# haremajor -sd 128
7
Run the same command on Node A. If the command fails on Node A, the
output lists the available numbers. Rerun the command on both nodes, setting
the major number to one available to both.
8
Reboot each system on which the command succeeds.
9
Proceed to reconcile the major numbers for your next partition.
To reconcile the minor numbers that do not match on disk partitions
1
In the example, the minor numbers are 1 and 3 and are reconciled by setting
to 30 on each node.
2
Type the following command on both nodes using the name of the block
device:
# ls -1 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0
Output from this command resembles the following on Node A:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 83 Dec 3 11:50
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0 -> ../../
devices/sbus@1f,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/sd@1,0:d,raw
The device name (in bold) includes the slash following the word devices,
and continues to, but does not include, the colon.
