Moving the /store file System to a Multipath Fibre Channel Solution in an HA Deployment
To use multipath Fibre Channel storage in a high-availability (HA) environment, you must configure the primary HA host and the secondary HA host to use the same storage partition.
Note:
-
You must configure multipath on the primary and secondary HA appliances before you initiate HA syncing.
-
Before you add HA to a Fibre Channel configuration, confirm that /store/backup is local. Create links to /store/backup only after adding HA.
- Verify that the correct Fibre Channel hardware is installed on your secondary HA appliance. For more information, see Verifying your Emulex Adapter Installation.
- Verify the HA Fibre Channel connections. For more information, see Verifying the Fibre Channel Connections.
- Configure Fibre Channel on your primary HA appliance. For more information, see Moving the /store file system to a Multipath Fibre Channel Solution.
- Configure the file system mount point for the secondary HA host. For more information, see Configuring the Mount Point for the Secondary HA Host.
