Adding new lvols to Service Guard

[dictum9]

I created some new lvols that need to be in a pre-existing package. I understand that they no longer go into the /etc/fstab file but into the ~/package_name.cntl.

What do I do activate (mount) them after the .cntl file has been modified?

Shalom,

Stop and start the package script.

If it didn't mount the lvm before the package control script will need to be modified to perform the mount.

This is well documented in the comment section of the script, if you used a standard template.

You are correct, you don't want to use /etc/fstab

Hey;

Assuming you don't want to restart the package, simply mount them using the mount command. Don't forget to export/import the affected vg onto your adoptive node and to update the cntl file on the adoptive node with the new lv info.

At some point, sooner rather than later, you'll want a package outage in order to verify the new mount points mount correctly.

i guess aftr modifyig the pkg file, you can do a "cmcheckconf -P pkg.conf" and "cmapplyconf -P pkg.conf" to apply changes dynamically.

If you haven't done so already, don't forget to export/import the VG on the passive node(s) after adding the lvol. Create your map file from the active node and use it when you import on the passive node(s).

1, Package control file need to modified (.cntl)
2, copy control file to other nodes
