4.2. Configuring a GFS Resource

Use the following procedure to add the GFS file system resource mygfs to cluster nfsclust.
  1. At the Add a Resource page for cluster nfsclust, click the drop-down box under Select a Resource Type and select GFS file system
  2. For Name, enter mygfs.
  3. For Mount point, enter /mnt/gfs. This is the path to which the GFS file system is mounted.
  4. For Device, enter /dev/myvg/myvol. The is the LVM logical volume on which the GFS file system was is created.
  5. The Options field specifies the mount options for the GFS file system. For this example, we are mounting the filesystem with the rw (read-write) option.
  6. Leave the File System ID field blank. Leaving the field blank causes a file system ID to be assigned automatically after you click Submit at the File System Resource Configuration dialog box.
  7. Leave the Force Unmount checkbox unchecked. Force Unmount kills all processes using the mount point to free up the mount when it tries to unmount. With GFS resources, the mount point is not unmounted at service tear-down unless this box is checked.
  8. Click Submit and accept the verification screen.
