Deport the coordinator disk group:

#

vxdg deport vxfencoorddg

disks from serving other purposes:

#

vxdg deport vxfencoorddg

Creating I/O fencing configuration files

After you set up the coordinator disk group, you must do the following to configure
I/O fencing:

Create the I/O fencing configuration file /etc/vxfendg

Update the I/O fencing configuration file /etc/vxfenmode

To update the I/O fencing files and start I/O fencing

On each nodes, type:

#

echo "vxfencoorddg" > /etc/vxfendg

Do not use spaces between the quotes in the "vxfencoorddg" text.

This command creates the /etc/vxfendg file, which includes the name of the
coordinator disk group.

On all cluster nodes depending on the SCSI-3 mechanism, type one of the
following selections:

For DMP configuration:

#

cp /etc/vxfen.d/vxfenmode_scsi3_dmp /etc/vxfenmode

For raw device configuration:
