NAME
/etc/init.d/cvfs - Initialization script for Xsan File System compo-
nents
SYNOPSIS
service cvfs {start|stop|restart|fullstop}
DESCRIPTION
The Xsan File System can be controlled by the system init(8) mechanism.
For more information on the init.d services reference the init(8) and
chkconfig(8) man pages.
This initialization script responds to the normal start, stop and
restart commands. This allows the Xsan File System to be started and
stopped at any time, and the fullstop option unloads CVFS kernel mod-
ules.
Note: Take care not to trigger an HA reset action on a server when it
has been configured for High Availability (HA). For more information
about HA reference the snhamgr(1M) man page.
See the init(8) or chkconfig(8) man pages for additional startup and
shutdown options.
Starting Xsan Services
The service cvfs start command should be executed only after local file
systems are mounted and the network is initialized. The following
steps are executed:
-- CVFS kernel modules are loaded.
-- Base Xsan services are started. This includes the Xsan portmap-
per service and any needed HBA drivers.
-- Any Xsan metadata servers included in the fsmlist(4) file are
started automatically.
-- Xsan volumes included in the systems fstab(5) or vfstab(4) file
are mounted.
-- Xsan Storage Manager (SNSM) components are started if they are
installed.
Stopping Xsan Services
The service cvfs stop command should be executed before the network is
brought down and before the local filesystems are unmounted. The fol-
lowing steps are executed:
-- SNSM components are stopped.
-- All Xsan volumes are unmounted.
-- All Xsan server components are shut down.
The kernel modules are not unloaded unless the fullstop option is used.
