Hello! We bought HP ProLiant DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster-MSA500 G2 server and after installation of RHEL3 and GFS-6.0.0-15 I have some questions. Because I have no expirience in setting up such systems, please, tell me, which mistakes in configuration I made. Now system is configured this way: /dev/cciss/c0d1 - External Logical Volume, 293.6 Gbytes (RAID 5) =================== [root@hp1 root]# fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d1 Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/cciss/c0d1: 293.6 GB, 293626045440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 35698 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 1 9 72261 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 10 35698 286671892+ fd Linux raid autodetect I've found nothing in GFS documentation about partitioning hard drive during setting up GFS. So, I used to experiment. First partition is allocated for <- CCA device ->. I'd like to know if there is enough space and right type of partition, and, at all, is it right way to allocate <- CCA device ->. Second partition was formatted as GFS, so the question is: is selected type of partition right or not? =================== [root@hp1 root]# cat pool0.cfg poolname pool0 minor 0 subpools 2 subpool 0 0 1 gfs_journal pooldevice 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 subpool 1 0 1 gfs_data pooldevice 1 0 /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 Actually, I don't know why, but first subpool I've made as gfs_journal :-) Basically, the system works, but something may be wrong. =================== During setting up I've made this command: [root@hp1 root]# ccs_tool create /root/cluster/ /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 [root@hp1 root]# pool_tool -s Device Pool Label ====== ========== /dev/cciss/c0d0 <- partition information -> /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 <- EXT2/3 filesystem -> /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 <- swap device -> /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 <- EXT2/3 filesystem -> /dev/cciss/c0d1 <- partition information -> /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 <- CCA device -> /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 <- GFS filesystem -> I'd like to hear some comments on it. =================== Thanks. -- Sergey Mikhnevich
