how the assignment of new Virtual Disk to the Bay appears without reboot Linux

[Maaz]

excellent help, thanks

summurize:
----------
1, I am configuring a cold standby server(without any clustering Suite, and Clustering FS).

2, Present the VDisk to only one machine(ServerA) and not to the other machine(machineB).
3, Configure the VDisk(partition, format, moutpoint) on machineA only, and obviously machineB doesnt aware of that Disk(VDisk).
4, When machineA is down, using EVA present the VDisk to machineB.
5, scan the VDisk on machineB(hp_rescan etc).

Now after the above excercise on machineB, I will see the partition(not just disk) on machineB, with the proper filesystem on it(as partition and filesystem was already build/configured from machineA). I just need to mount the filesystem.

Yes Ivan after the information I got from the forum, I think we must choose the following(as we need a hot standby)
1, OCFS2 (so that both machines can access the Disk simultaneously)
2, HP Service Guard (to configure the cluster)

Thanks n Regards
