Requirement

Description

When determining the size of your file system, you should

consider your recovery needs. Running the

fsck

command on the file system can take a long time and

consume a large amount of memory. Additionally, in the

event of a disk or disk-subsytem failure, recovery time is

limited by the speed of your backup media.

Table 2.3. Fibre Channel Storage Device Requirements

6. Network Power Switches

You can fence GFS nodes with power switches and fencing agents available with Red Hat

Cluster Suite. For more information about fencing with network power switches, refer to

Configuring and Managing a Red Hat Cluster.

7. Console Access

Make sure that you have console access to each GFS node. Console access to each node

ensures that you can monitor nodes and troubleshoot problems.

8. Installing GFS

Installing GFS consists of installing Red Hat GFS RPMs on nodes in a Red Hat cluster. Before

installing the RPMs, make sure of the following:

• The cluster nodes meet the system requirements described in this chapter.

• You have noted the key characteristics of your GFS configuration (refer to

Section 5, “Before

Setting Up GFS”

).

• The correct Red Hat Cluster Suite software is installed in the cluster.

For information on installing RPMS for Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat GFS, see

Configuring and Managing a Red Hat Cluster. If you have already installed the appropriate Red

Hat Cluster Suite RPMs, follow the procedures that pertain to installing the Red Hat GFS RPMs.
