Setting up shared storage for the CP server database

If you configured SFHA on the CP server cluster, perform the following procedure to set up shared storage for the CP server database.

Symantec recommends that you create a mirrored volume for the CP server database and that you use the vxfs file system type.

To set up shared storage for the CP server database

  1. Create a disk group containing the disks. You require two disks to create a mirrored volume.

    For example:

    # vxdg init cps_dg  disk1 disk2
  2. Import the disk group if it is not already imported.

    For example:

    # vxdg import cps_dg
  3. Create a mirrored volume over the disk group.

    For example:

    # vxassist -g cps_dg make cps_vol volume_size layout=mirror
  4. Create a file system over the volume.

    The CP server configuration utility only supports vxfs file system type. If you use an alternate file system, then you must configure CP server manually.

    Depending on the operating system that your CP server runs, enter the following command:

    AIX

    		 
    # mkfs -V vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/cps_dg/cps_volume

    HP-UX

    		 
    # mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/cps_dg/cps_volume

    Linux

    		 
    # mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/cps_dg/cps_volume

    Solaris

    		 
    # mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/cps_dg/cps_volume
