Updating the Storage Foundation for Databases (SFDB) repository after adding a node

If you are using Database Storage Checkpoints, Database FlashSnap, or SmartTier for Oracle in your configuration, update the SFDB repository to enable access for the new node after it is added to the cluster.

To update the SFDB repository after adding a node

  1. Copy the /var/vx/vxdba/rep_loc file from one of the nodes in the cluster to the new node.
  2. If the /var/vx/vxdba/auth/user-authorizations file exists on the existing cluster nodes, copy it to the new node.

    If the /var/vx/vxdba/auth/user-authorizations file does not exist on any of the existing cluster nodes, no action is required.

    This completes the addition of the new node to the SFDB repository.
