All -
We used to have students add their own SSDs to the sims in our lab environs.
The procedure has been taken out of the most recent version of the Cluster Mode class.
I thought I'd take some time to document it here.
It's needed to be able to simulate creating hybrid aggrs - Flash Pools.
Step 1 - Unlock the Diag user
Cluster mode:
set diag
security login unlock -username diag -vserver clustername
security login password -username diag -vserver clustername
7-mode:
priv set diag
useradmin diaguser unlock
useradmin diaguser password
Step 2 - Enter system shell
Log in as user diag ...
Cluster mode:
systemshell -node clustername1/2
7-mode:
systemshell
Step 3 - Create SSD Disks
setenv PATH /sim/bin:$PATH
cd /sim/dev
sudo vsim_makedisks -t 35 -a 2 -n 14
exit
Step 4 -
Reboot to recognize new disks.
assign new unowned disks
Enjoy !
I'll update this doc with defs of the different sim disk types as I figure it out ...
I hope this response has been helpful to you.
