Setting up the Volume Manager Environment

When you have loaded the Volume Manager software, and before you run

vxinstall

to initialize it, you must configure the software to run as required on the

Netra ft 1800. This involves the following:

■

Setting default volume creation to mirror disks by default when they are created

■

Configuring the Volume Manager to deal with stale boot disks

■

Configuring the Volume Manager’s recovery behavior when a physical disk fails

■

Enabling boot disk detection

Setting Default Volume Creation

Note –

Disk mirroring in Volume Manager provides the fault tolerance for the disk

storage of the Netra ft 1800. This step is essential to ensure that all disks are
mirrored.

To mirror disks by default when they are created, enter the following:

Note –

If the

vxassist

file already exists, resolve any differences between the

contents of the file and the line

mirror=yes

. The resulting file must contain the line

mirror=yes

The preceding command creates the

/etc/default/vxassist

file with the

required line in it. This sets the tunable parameters used by the Volume Manager

vxva

GUI. (These parameters can be overriden via the command line.) See the

Sun StorEdge Volume Manager documentation for full details.

Dealing with Stale Boot Disks

To prevent the system from stopping when it encounters a stale boot plex during the
boot sequence, enter the following:

echo "mirror=yes" > /etc/default/vxassist

# mkdir -p /etc/vx/sbin

# echo ’/sbin/uadmin 2 1 "stale"’ > /etc/vx/sbin/vxaltstale

# chmod +x /etc/vx/sbin/vxaltstale
