Chapter 5Using and Managing System FilesFor information about how to manage system files, see the following sections: Using Data Caches in Shared File SystemsIf the impact on performance is acceptable, do not use data and attribute caches when writing data to shared file systems. If it is necessary to use data and attribute caches to improve performance, ensure that your applications minimize the risk of using inconsistent data. Consider using the O_SYNC or O_DSYNC mount options on some files. For information about these options, see the fcntl(3head) man page. Data and attribute caching is disabled by the noac mount option. The following procedure describes how to enable or disable the noac mount option.

master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/data - \ /SUNWcgha/remote nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr,noac master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/services/ha_v21/opt \ - /SUNWcgha/services nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr,noac master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/services - \ /SUNWcgha/swdb nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr,noac |
If data and attribute caching is enabled, the file should not contain the noac option, as follows:
master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/data - \ /SUNWcgha/remote nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/services/ha_v21/opt \ - /SUNWcgha/services nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr master-cgtp:/SUNWcgha/local/export/services - \ /SUNWcgha/swdb nfs - no rw,hard,fg,intr |
Remove or add the noac option, as required.
To enable data and attribute caching, remove noac from the lists of options.
To disable data and attribute caching, add noac to the lists of options.
Save and close the file.
Reboot the node:
# uadmin 1 1 |
Trigger a switchover, as described in To Trigger a Switchover With nhcmmstat.
Log in to each of the diskless peer nodes or dataless peer nodes and repeat Step 2 through Step 5.
When data is written to the master node, a write is made to the replicated partition on the disk and to the corresponding scoreboard bitmap. The scoreboard bitmap can be configured in two ways:
The scoreboard bitmap can be stored on a replicated partition and updated every time that the corresponding data partition is updated.
The scoreboard bitmap can be stored in memory and updated every time that the corresponding data partition is updated. The scoreboard bitmap is written to a replicated partition only when the node is shut down gracefully.
For information about the advantages and disadvantages of storing the scoreboard bitmap in memory, see "IP Mirroring" in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. For information about how to reconfigure the scoreboard bitmap, see the following procedure.
Log in to the vice-master node as superuser.
Open the /usr/kernel/drv/rdc.conf file in a text editor.
If the scoreboard bitmap is stored on a replicated partition, the value of the rdc_bitmap_mode parameter is 1.
If the scoreboard bitmap is stored in memory, the value of the rdc_bitmap_mode parameter is 2.
Change the value of the rdc_bitmap_mode parameter:
To store the scoreboard bitmap on a replicated partition, set the value of the rdc_bitmap_mode parameter to 1.
To store the scoreboard bitmap in memory, set the value of the rdc_bitmap_mode parameter to 2.
Save and close the file.
Reboot the node:
# uadmin 1 1 |
Trigger a switchover, as described in To Trigger a Switchover With nhcmmstat.
Verify that the master node and vice-master node are synchronized, as described in To Verify That the Master Node and Vice-Master Node Are Synchronized.
