1Adding the File Systems from the Global System to the HP9000 Containers (except for the / , /var and /usr of the container)

Run from Global system the commands to add the LVs created on the Global System

 

For the filesystems to be added to the container first create the VG/LV /FS on the global System. Once these are in place the devices can be added to the Container.

 

Overall steps are as:

 

1) Create the LV and perform MKFS or NEWFS on the LV at the Global system level.

 

2) Add the RAW and the block devices to the container using srp -add -tune=<device> syntax

 

3) Add these entries for mount in the local FSTAB of the container

 

4) Mount these inside the container

Add the Block and RAW device files for the LVs which are created on the Global system to be added as File systems inside the container

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lv/homelv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lvg/rhomelv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lv/optlv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lvg/roptlv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lv/tmplv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/node4lvg/rtmplv

Then add the mount entries for the above devices to the local FSTAB of the container from the global System.

echo "/dev/node4lvg/optlv /opt vxfs delaylog 0 2" >> /var/hpsrp/node4l/etc/fstab

echo "/dev/node4lvg/tmplv /tmp vxfs delaylog 0 2" >> /var/hpsrp/node4l/etc/fstab

echo "/dev/node4lvg/homelv /home vxfs delaylog 0 2" >> /var/hpsrp/node4l/etc/fstab

After this login to the container using SSH or via srp_su from the global system and do a mount -a

The mounts when at the container level, can also be seen when the BDF executes at the global system level or at the container level.

Add the RAW and Block device files of the disk to the HP 9000 Container

If the RAW disks are added to the container using the above like RAW and the block device files for a disk like /dev/rdisk/diskxx  and /dev/disk/diskxx OR in form of the RAW LV which does not have a filesystem like /dev/<VG>/<LV> and /dev/<VG>/r<LV> you cannot run mkfs or newfs at the container level.

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/dsk/c0t2d0

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0

+++++++++++++++

LVM commands and the MKFS are not supported on the HP9000 container

Delete the devices from the container

srp -delete node4l -tune device=/dev/dsk/c0t2d0

srp -delete node4l -tune device=/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0

Create a VG , LV and MKFS on the LV on the global system

Then add the block and RAW device files for the LV to the HP9000 Container

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/test/testlv

srp -add node4l -tune device=/dev/test/rtestlv

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

Add these to the local /etc/fstab for the container

Create the Mount point folder on the Container

root@hp9000vm@/#srp_su node4l

#

#

#

# mkdir -p /test

# exit

Come to the global node and add the entry to the local FSTAB of the container

echo "/dev/test/testlv /test vxfs delaylog 0 2" >> /var/hpsrp/node4l/etc/fstab

++++++++++++++++++++++

Login to the container and execute the Mount

root@hp9000vm@/#srp_su node4l

3NEWFS MKFS and LVM Operations are not supported within the HP 9000 System container.

Create VG , LV , FS at the global level and then add using tune to the container as above
