Chapter 1. GFS Overview
Software Subsystem Components
Description
License
license_tool
Command that is used to check a license
file.
GNBD
gnbd.o
Kernel module that implements the GNBD
blade-device driver on clients.
gnbd_serv.o
Kernel module that implements the GNBD
server. It allows a node to export local
storage over the network.
gnbd_export
Command to create, export and manage
GNBDs on a GNBD server.
gnbd_import
Command to import and manage GNBDs
on a GNBD client.
Upgrade
gfs_conf
Command that retrieves from a cidev
configuration information from earlier
versions of GFS.

1.5. Before Configuring GFS
Before you install and configure GFS, note the following key characteristics of your GFS configura-
tion:
Cluster name
Determine a cluster name for your GFS cluster. The cluster name is required in the form of a pa-
rameter variable,
ClusterName
, later in this book.The cluster name can be 1 to 16 characters long.
For example, this book uses a cluster name
alpha
in some example configuration procedures.
Number of file systems
Determine how many GFS file systems to create initially. (More file systems can be added later.)
File system name
Determine a unique name for each file system. Each file system name is required in the form of
a parameter variable,
FSName
, later in this book. For example, this book uses file system names
gfs1
and
gfs2
in some example configuration procedures.
Number of nodes
Determine how many nodes will mount the file systems. The hostnames and IP addresses of all
nodes will be used.
LOCK_GULM server daemons
Determine the number of LOCK_GULM server daemons to use and on which GFS nodes the
server daemons will run. Multiple LOCK_GULM server daemons (only available with RLM)
provide redundancy. RLM requires a minimum of three nodes, but no more than five nodes. In-
formation about LOCK_GULM server daemons is required for a CCS (Cluster Configuration
System) file,
cluster.ccs
. Refer to Section 6.6
Creating the
cluster.ccs
File
for informa-
tion about the
cluster.ccs
file.
