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

Use the following command on each node exporting an NFS file system. The

command displays the major numbers for vxio and vxspec that Veritas

Volume Manager uses . Note that other major numbers are also displayed,

but only vxio and vxspec are of concern for reconciliation:

# grep vx /etc/name_to_major

Output on Node A:

vxdmp 30

vxio 32

vxspec 33

vxfen 87

vxglm 91

Output on Node B:

vxdmp 30

vxio 36

vxspec 37

vxfen 87

vxglm 91

To change Node B’s major numbers for vxio and vxspec to match those of

Node A, use the command:

haremajor -vx major_number_vxio major_number_vxspec

For example, enter:

# haremajor -vx 32 33

If the command succeeds, proceed to step 8. If this command fails, you receive

a report similar to the following:

Error: Preexisting major number 32

These are available numbers on this system: 128...

Check /etc/name_to_major on all systems for

available numbers.
