# Tested on RHEL 6
# I included this recipe as part of Red Hat Cluster Suite but, in fact, gfs2 is part of an # optional package and not part of Red Hat Cluster Suite. # In any case, to configure gfs2 subsystem we need to install Red Hat Cluster layer first # Once Red Hat Cluster configured we'll follow following procedure (run commands on all # nodes making up our cluster except when indicated): # Required package installation: yum install lvm2-cluster gfs2-utils # Change LVM locking type to use built-in cluster locking on all cluster nodes. This # can be done by either changing "locking-type" to '3' in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf configuration file or by running: lvmconf --enable-cluster # Let's activate and start necessary services chkconfig gfs2 on chkconfig clvmd on service clvmd start service gfs2 start # GFS2 construction... # We'll run following commands only on one of the nodes in the cluster ------ DISK=/dev/sdc1 VG=gfsvg LV=lv_gfs_test MNTPT=/sharedfs SIZE=5GB JOURNALS=4 # The number of journals for gfs2_mkfs. I recommend to # use 2 journals per machine that will mount the fs. CLUSTERNAME=mycluster # We will user "clustername" for the lock table field (-t) # that should have the form clustername:fsname. Clustername must # match that in cluster.conf; only members of the cluster are # permitted to use this filesystem.
