Using the Command Line

# This will force the port mapper to re-scan this file.

#

# File Format:

#

# Spaces and tabs may be used liberally.

# A comment is designated by a pound (#) sign in the first character

# of a line.

#

# Line format is (without the first pound sign):

#

#<fsname> [<hostname>] [<priority>]

#

# where:

#

<fsname> is the name of the FSM file system. This must match

#

the configuration's file name, (<file_system_name>.cfg).

#

This name is Storage Area Network (SAN) wide and must be

#

unique across all the interconnected SAN machines.

#

#

[<hostname>] is an optional host name for those systems with multiple

#

network adapters, or that are multi-hosted. A period (.) indicates

#

that the system should use the default host name or IP address.

#

#

[<priority>] is a number assigned to FSS services to give more

#

determinism to which service can take over a failed service.

#

The lower the value the higher the priority. If there is no

#

priority assigned to a service, it defaults to priority 0.

#

FSS Services with equal priority will not have deterministic fail

# over

characteristics.

#

#

# Below are some example file system service configuration lines.

#

# Example #1.

#

# This file system is named "default". The host name defaults to the same

# one the fsm port mapper uses. It is the only service for this file

# system.

#

#default

#

# Example #2.

#

# This file system service is named "example" and uses an alternate path

# host name on host name "rock".

#

#example rock

#

# Example #3.

#

# Here is a list of services, some which are primary and some which are

# backup.
