Setting Up StorNext FS on Linux 5-15
DISK section - Identifies the disk type to be assigned to a disk drive that is labeled and
available for StorNext FS. A disk type describes a category of disks with a capacity
specified in number of sectors. The following parts comprise a disk definition:
• The required keyword Disk preceded by the open bracket symbol ( [ ) and followed by
the closed bracket symbol ( ] ). The name of the disk must match the label name of the
drive as displayed by the cvlabel -1 command, and the sectors must match the
Sectors value defined in DiskType. This is how the label names of the Fibre Channel
disks are associated with a StorNext FS.
• On the next line, the words Status UP
• On the next line, the required keyword Type and the name of the disk type assigned to
the disk definition.
For example:
STRIPEGROUP DEFINITION section - Describes a group of disks that comprise a stripe
group. One or more stripe groups describe the entire file system. A stripe group is the
smallest entity that can be manipulated by a system administrator using the File System
Administration utility (cvadmin).
NOTE
All disks defined in any given stripe group must have the same sector size and
number of sectors, as listed in the DiskType section.
