NAME
fsmlist - Xsan File System FSM Auto-Start List
SYNOPSIS
/Library/Preferences/Xsan/fsmlist
DESCRIPTION
The Xsan File System fsmlist file defines for the fsmpm(8) daemon the
File System Manager (FSM) daemons to start. When the file does not
exist, the fsmpm will not start any FSM daemons.
SYNTAX
The format for the fsmlist is simple. On each line is the name of one
volume to start, and an optional priority number from zero (0) to nine
(9).
The optional priority number is used when there is a redundant metadata
controller (MDC). A priority of zero makes the specified FSM top pri-
ority and any number greater than zero means lower priority. See
cvfs_failover(1) for details about setting up a failover-capable file
system service.
The format of an fsmlist line is:
<File_System_Name> [ . <priority>]
File_System_Name is the public name of the volume used in the mount(1m)
command, and as the prefix for the configuration file (see snfs_con-
fig(5)).
The dot (.) character is required when the priority field is specified.
It takes the place of a deprecated parameter and is required for com-
patibility with old fsmlist files. (This parameter was formerly used
to specify the IP address to associate with the FSS when a host had
multiple network interfaces. This functionality is now subsumed by the
fsnameservers file.)
The priority field is used to designate a priority when there are
redundant fsm daemons for a volume. Only one may be active at a time
and the fsmpm daemon executes failover votes to determine the daemon to
activate. The priority value helps the fsmpm determine, all other
things being equal, which service to activate.
Lines that contain white space only or that contain the comment token
as the first non-white space character are ignored.
