Use the vxfentsthdw utility to verify disks are configured to support I/O fencing. In this procedure, the vxfentsthdw utility tests the three disks, one disk at a time from each node.
The procedure in this section uses the following disks for example:
From the node sys1, the disks are seen as /dev/sdg
, /dev/sdh
, and /dev/sdi
.
From the node sys2, the same disks are seen as /dev/sdx
, /dev/sdy
, and /dev/sdz
.
Note: |
To test the coordinator disk group using the vxfentsthdw utility, the utility requires that the coordinator disk group, vxfencoorddg, be accessible from two nodes. |
To test the coordinator disk group using vxfentsthdw -c
# vxfentsthdw -c vxfencoorddg
Enter the first node of the cluster: sys1 Enter the second node of the cluster: sys2
ALL tests on the disk /dev/sdg have PASSED. The disk is now ready to be configured for I/O Fencing on node sys1 as a COORDINATOR DISK. ALL tests on the disk /dev/sdx have PASSED. The disk is now ready to be configured for I/O Fencing on node sys2 as a COORDINATOR DISK.
