CVM/CFS on Solaris
Dear All,
I would like to create a VCS cluster of 2 nodes that will have the CFS mounted on both of them. Once the CFS is mounted into the cluster I want to get it shared to the system that is not part of VCS cluster. My question is it possible if not what could be the best way.
Objective for this I want to test performance (read/write) on CFS as compare to NFS, QFS.
I will appreciate your input.
If you have SFCFS HA as oppose to SFCFS, then you can create a Share resource in VCS in a new failover SG (see comment https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/creating-shared-folder-between-two-solaris-systems-using-vxfs#comment-7756981 and https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/creating-shared-folder-between-two-solaris-systems-using-vxfs#comment-7950331 for details on SFCFS HA).
The advantage of creating in VCS is that if filesystem is say initially shared from node A and node A fails, then VCS will fail share to node B
To Share filesystem manually then just NFS share using O/S tools on node A or B (not both).
Once filesystem is shared, then you then NFS mount on Node C.
