How to grow vxfs directory but the server is in Veritas Cluster environment?
Hello,
Usually I use "vxresize" to grow vxfs directory in a stand-alone server without any problems, but I am just told to grow vxfs directorys in Veritas Cluster nodes.
Since I never done it before, would like to ask all the experts here to make sure the concept and steps will be fine before I pursue.
Example-1:
2 nodes cluster ( server-a and server-b ) in VCS control
Request: grow /opt/oracle with additional 10GB
What I notice is: the cluster is not using Veritas Cluster File System to mange its file systems =>
Which means, I can't grow file system in master node, then expect slave node will grow too .... I need to grow file systems separately on both cluster nodes --> is this concept correct?
server-a# df -h | grep /opt/oracle
/dev/vx/dsk/serveradg/optoracle 20G 13G 6.7G 66% /opt/oracle
server-b# df -h | grep /opt/oracle
/dev/vx/dsk/serverbdg/optoracle 20G 13G 6.8G 66% /opt/oracle
The reason I want to make sure is that I don't have clear Veritas Cluster knowledge, so I always thought that to grow filesystem in one node, the other nodes in the cluster should see the same change automatically, but while reasing online, I noticed this seems only works if file systems are under Veritas Cluster Filesystem control, so I would like to be careful before I go to run "vxresize" ... to prevent I am not going to mess up the cluster.
Can anyone help to share/confirm that I should still go to each node in the cluster to grow file systems even though those nodes are in the same cluster, but not in Veritas Cluster Filesystem control?
Thank you very much,
SC

lufslist
lufslist(1M) lufslist(1M)
NAME
lufslist - list configuration of a boot environment
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lufslist [-l error_log] [-o outfile] BE_name [-X]
DESCRIPTION
The lufslist command is part of a suite of commands that make up the Live Upgrade feature of the Solaris operating environment. See
live_upgrade(5) for a description of the Live Upgrade feature.
The lufslist command lists the configuration of a boot environment (BE). The output contains the disk slice (file system), file system
type, and file system size for each BE mount point.
The following is an example of lufslist output.
# lufslist BE_name
Filesystem fstype size(Mb) Mounted on
------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 swap 512.11 -
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s3 ufs 3738.29 /
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s4 ufs 510.24 /opt
File system type can be ufs, swap, or vxfs, for a Veritas file system. Under the Filesystem heading can be a disk slice or a logical
device, such as a disk metadevice used by volume management software.
The lufslist command requires root privileges.
OPTIONS
The lufslist command has the following options:
-l error_log
Error and status messages are sent to error_log, in addition to where they are sent in your current environment.
-o outfile
All command output is sent to outfile, in addition to where it is sent in your current environment.
-X
Enable XML output. Characteristics of XML are defined in DTD, in /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>, where <num> is the version
number of the DTD file.
OPERANDS
BE_name
Name of the BE for which file systems are to be reported. You cannot specify a BE that is involved in another Live Upgrade operation.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
/etc/lutab
list of BEs on the system
/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>
