nfsXXXX & nfsdataXX Node Initialization Instructions
This document assumes that an NFS node needs to be brought back to life, from a malfunctioning RAID or a new disk set.
The green text in the following instructions are command line paths.
nfsXXXX Raid configuration.
These steps can only be done at the console, after F6 is pressed to get into the RAID configuration utility during the boot process.
Raid Set #00:
Vol#00:
30GB Partion
Raid 6
8kb stripe
Vol#01:
5570GB (the remaining space)
Raid 6
8kb stripe
nfsXXXX OS Configuration
login to nemo as root and create a link for pxe-booting
cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
./nfs_pxe_symlink.sh {upper} {lower} default.FC4x86_64-nfs
The OS install application anaconda complains about sdb.
Until we can get anaconda to ignore this volume in the script you have to manually interact with the nfs machine,
this prompt comes up early in the install kickstart process.
sdb needs partitioning by hand:
The format for nfsXXXX boxes is:
1.25T for homes ( 1310720 megabytes )
3.85T for scrach ( 4037017 megabytes )
[root@nfsXXXX ~]# parted /dev/sdb
(parted) mklabel gtp
(parted) mkpart primary xfs 0 1310720
(parted) mkpart primary xfs 1310721 5311960
Create a file system on the newly created partions
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb2
Create a "export2" directory in root
mkdir /export2
Use this command to add a line to fstab file
echo "/dev/sdb2 /export2 xfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
Use this command to add a line to exports file
echo "/export2 192.168.0.0/255.255.248.0(async,rw,no_root_squash)" >> /etc/exports
Until the rc.loccal has a script to do this automatically, the IP Address needs to be set be hand.
/root/root_tools/areca_cli_64 set password=0000
/root/root_tools/areca_cli_64 net ipaddr p=10.0.1.1X
Setup of nfsXXXX complete.
nfsdataXX Raid configuration.
These steps can only be done at the console, after F6 is pressed to get into the RAID configuration utility during the boot process.
Raid Set #00:
Vol#00:
20GB Partion
Raid 6
8kb stripe
Vol#01:
5580GB (the remaining space)
Raid 6
8kb stripe
nfsdataXX OS Configuration
login to nemo as root and create a link for pxe-booting
cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
./nfs_pxe_symlink.sh {upper} {lower} default.FC4x86_64-nfsdata
The OS install application anaconda complains about sdb.
Until we can get anaconda to ignore this volume in the script you have to manually interact with the nfsdata machine,
this prompt comes up early in the install kickstart process.
The format for nfsdtatXX is:
5.1T for the whole volume ( 5311960 megabytes )
[root@nfsdataXX ~]# parted /dev/sdb
(parted) mklabel gtp
(parted) mkpart primary xfs 0 5311960
Create a file system on the newly created partions
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1
Until the rc.loccal has a script to do this automatically, the IP Address needs to be set be hand.
/root/root_tools/areca_cli_64 set password=0000
/root/root_tools/areca_cli_64 net ipaddr p=10.0.1.1XX
Setup of ndsdataXX complete.
