Create A Default File System Page - HP IBRIX X9000 Installation Manual

Use ethtool <eth port> to detect the speed information. The port value for X9300/X9320
systems is detected as described in the previous step. For X9730 systems, the ports are internal.
◦
If the speed of the NIC ports selected for bond creation is 10GB, use any two NIC ports
in bond mode 1.
◦
If the speed of the NIC ports selected for bond creation is 1GB, use four NIC ports in
bond mode 6.
If these steps do not resolve the condition, use the text-based installation method to form the
cluster.

Create a Default File System page

The default file system cannot be created
Probable cause:
The file system mount operation failed.
The specified volume group name already exists.
The storage is not preformatted properly.
Troubleshooting steps:
Determine if the file system was actually created. Run the ibrix_fs
system exists but is not mounted, use the GUI or the following command to mount the file
system:
ibrix_mount -f FSNAME [-o { RW | RO } ] [-O MOUNTOPTIONS] [-h
HOSTLIST] -m MOUNTPOINT
The storage might be unavailable. To determine the storage exposed to the server, run the
following command to discover devices:
ibrix_pv
List the discovered physical devices:
ibrix_pv
If the output of ibrix_pv
File System page, and create the file system. If the output is empty, no storage is available to
create the file system. Add storage to the server and run the previous commands again to
make the storage available for the file system.
The storage exposed to the servers might be in an inconsistent state. Preformat the storage
before trying to create the default file system. Complete the following steps on any server:
1. On the GUI, unmount the file system created in a previously formed cluster.
2. Delete all shares and the file system.
3. Use putty or ssh to connect to each node you need to QR and run following commands:
