The
haremajor
command can be used to reassign major numbers of block devices such as
disk partitions or VERITAS Volume Manager volumes.
NFS clients know the major and minor numbers of the block device
containing the file system exported on the NFS server. Therefore,
when making the NFS server highly available, it is important to
make sure that all nodes in the cluster that can act as NFS servers
have the same major and minor numbers for the block device.
The haremajor command can be used to change major numbers used
by a system when necessary.
Use the -sd option to reassign a major number for a
disk partition managed by the SD driver. Minor numbers will
automatically be the same on both systems.
Use the -vx option to reassign the major number for
the Volume Manager volume device driver (vxio) as well as the vxspec
device used by the Volume Manager process vxconfigd.
Currently assigned major numbers can be determined by
entering the command:
grep '^vx' /etc/name_to_major
Note that minor numbers for volumes can be changed using the reminor
option of the vxdg command; see the manual page for vxdg(1M).
Use the -atf option to reassign the major number for the ATF
(Application Transparent Failover) driver on a system.
