Command syntax
storage_setup [-h] [-e {san, nfs}] [-d {san,nfs}] [--show] [--reset_permissions] [--import_san] [--export_san] [--multi_domain_aware]Command parameters
- -e|--enable {san,nfs}
- Enables external storage. Use san for SAN storage, or nfs for NFS (NAS) servers.
- -d|--disable {san,nfs}
- Disables external storage. Use san for SAN storage, or nfs for NFS (NAS) servers.
- --show
- Shows currently added storage.
- --reset_permissions
- Edits the permissions.
- --import_san
- --export_san
- You use these two parameters to move SAN storage from one system to another:
- Run storage_setup --export_san on system A.
- Move the SAN and the configuration file to system B.
- Run storage_setup --import_san on system B.
- --expand_san_filesystem
- Adds additional storage to a SAN filesystem.
- --expand_fiber_layout
- Adds and expands a fibre layout to SAN across all nodes. By default, the ports are connected to two nodes only.
- --multi_domain_aware
- Renames GPFS cluster to a unique value for use in TSM LAN-free. Also used to export the SAN to
multi-domains.
When a new SAN is added with storage_setup -e, there’s no need to use the --multi-domain_aware flag, as this functionality will be configured automatically in the process.
If in a multi-HA domain you previously added a SAN without the --multi_domain_aware flag, you must rerun the tool with that flag.
If in a single-HA domain you expand your system to multi-HA domains, you also need to rerun the tool with the --multi_domain_aware flag.
