Hi,

To enable to get mounts display in cfsmntadm command, you need to configure Cluster Volume Manager / Culuster Filesystem. aka CFS/CVM Are you using CVM/CFS, have you enabled CVM/CFS license ?

CVM/CFS is product for parallel clustering, a normal mount point without CFS/CVM can not be displayed using cfsmntadm command .. To see whether you are using CFS/CVM ... can u paste

# gabconfig -a

# hastatus -sum

Also refer to " Storage Foundation Cluster File System Guides" here:

https://sort.symantec.com/documents/doc_details/sf...

G

The man page of cfsmntadm command though is little unclear on the first line ..

https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6....

NAME

cfsmntadm - add, delete, modify, and set policy on cluster mounted file systems <<<<<< This should be mentioned as cluster mounted shared of Cluster filesystems

however if you see rest of options, it is mentioned that operations can be ran only on shared diskgroups ... shared diskgroups are part of CVM where same diskgroup can be imported on multiple nodes at the same time ...

SYNOPSIS

cfsmntadm add [ -D ] shared_disk_group shared_volume

mount_point [ service_group_name ] node_name=[ mount_options ] ...

cfsmntadm add shared_disk_group shared_volume mount_point

here is gabconfig -a and hastatus -sum

Running "cfsmntadm display" does not effect the configuration - this is just a query to list your CFS Mountpoints - it does not change anything.

Mike

You can do a man on cfsmntadm to see that it only displays things or look at https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6.0/linux/manualpages/html/man/storage_foundation_cluster_file_system/html/man1m/cfsmntadm.1m.html:

 

display
	When used with the mount_point argument, displays the cluster file system properties associated with a mount point. The following are displayed for a shared volume or a mount point:   o Name of the shared volume o Name of the shared disk group to which the shared volume belongs o List of nodes on which the shared volume can be mounted o List of nodes on which shared volume is currently mounted o Mount options for each node o Primary node for the file system mounted at mount_point o Displays the primary election policy, if any, for the file system
	When used with the node_name argument, displays the list of shared volumes mounted on the specified node. The following are displayed for each mounted shared volume:   o Name of the shared volume o Type of mount point

 

There are several other ways to get list of mount points:

df

df shows the block device which shows you what the disk group is, so any shared diskgroups will most likely have CFS mounts on them.  "vxdisk list" will show you shared diskgroups where the "STATUS" column is "online shared" (I think "vxdg list" will also show you this)
 

mount

If the mount options show "cluster" then that mount is a CFS (shared) mount

hares

hares -display -attribute MountPath -type CFSMount

You can list normal mounts by:

hares -display -attribute MountPath -type Mount

Mike

OK so you do use CFS/CVM as we can see the CVM service group as well, also you have CVM/CFS ports available in gabconfig -a output ..

So to address your original query, if you want to display mount points under cfsmntadm display command .., you should see that mount points are mounted with "cluster" option..

If you add any mount point in CFS configuration by using "cfsmntadm" add command, CFS registers  the same in configuration & would report the CFS mount points in "cfsmntadm display" output....

Else, if you have configured mounts manually though they are mounted with "cluster" option... they should still be able to see under cfsmntadm display output ..

hope this helps..

G

so if i use this command using cfsmntadm add it doesnt change anything in teh configuration?

If you use "cfsmntadm display" it will not change anything in the configuration - if you use other options like add and delete, then these will change configuration.

Mike

only display won't change, add will change the config ....

what i means is : list off mount points can be display if i using command cfsmntadm display without changing the configuration. is that possible?

Thanks

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.  If cfsmntadm does not work, then the following command should - could you post the output from:

hares -display -attribute MountPath -type CFSMount

Mike

Hi Mike

is that a typo, should it be MountPoint instead of MountPath ?

tony

Just want to understand, what exactly is the outstanding query now ?

I think the outstanding question was answered already before ..

If the mount points are mounted with "cluster" option,  should be visible under cfsmntadm display ... & for this there is no change in configuration ..

G

Still not quite sure what you are asking.  Let me start off by saying, I have never actually used cfsmntadm for anything (adding, delete or displaying) - I always used VCS.  As I understand, cfsmntadm is designed for people who are purely using CFS (i.e they have SFCFS licence, not SFCFS HA) license and so if you don't want to learn VCS, then you can use cfsmntadm, but if you are comfortable using VCS, then I would do so.

First thing I don't understand is what the difference is between the 2 "cfsmntadm display" commands - did you run these from different nodes or does the command intermittently show different outputs or something else.

Secondly, I am unsure what you mean by "cfsmntadm display command did not display correct mount point association".  This sounds like it means Volume or diskgroup is wrong for a given Mount point, but they look right, unless you have an inconsistent naming convention for mounts and volumes.  What I think you MIGHT mean is that the wrong columns are displayed and I would agree with you there as the manual says you should see:

1. Name of the shared volume
2. Name of the shared disk group to which the shared volume belongs
3. List of nodes on which the shared volume can be mounted
4. List of nodes on which shared volume is currently mounted
5. Mount options for each node
6. Primary node for the file system mounted at mount_point
7. Displays the primary election policy, if any, for the file system

Your output is definatley not showing 3, 5, 6 and 7 and it is not showing 4 very well either and your output shows " MOUNT POINT"  and "TYPE" which are not mentioned in manual.  Maybe you need to specify "-v" option to get the information the manual says, but this is not clear in the manual.

If "-v" does not show the correct information as in the manual, then I would log a call with Symantec if you would prefer to use this command, rather than VCS.  Likewise you should log a call if the output is different when run from different nodes or if the output changes when there is no state change of the mounts.

As Tony pointed out, if you want to use hares commands, you need to use "MountPoint", not "MountPath" and I think the following command should work too if you want to see more information:

hares -display -type CFSMount | egrep "MountPoint|State|BlockDevice|MountOpt|Policy|Primary"

Of course, you can choose whatever attributes you want to see in the egrep or don't use egrep at all to see the full list of attributes which will include a lot of system attributes which won't be of interest.
