Creating a Quorum Witness
To create a quorum witness on a target, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure that the target is sync—that is, that it contains only sync groups and is not in an
SLD configuration. This condition is enforced in the software.
2.
Verify connectivity to the quorum witness by using the check command:
# setrcopytarget witness check <IP of quorum witness>
If no message is returned, the check was successful.
3.
Use the following command to add a quorum witness to a target:
# setrcopytarget witness create <IP of quorum witness> <target_name>
4.
To view the status of a created quorum witness, issue the showrcopy command with the –qw
option, and filter for target information:
# showrcopy -qw targets
