Task 27: Verify the
cluster status
Task 28: Expose
storage to hosts
Output example in a dual-engine cluster:
Director ID
Director ID
2. VPlexcli-2 From the VPlexcli prompt on management server 2, type the
following command, and verify that all directors in cluster 1 appear in the output:
ll /engines/engine-1-*/**/directors
1. VPlexcli-1 From the VPlexcli prompt on management server 1, type the
following command to display the cluster status:
cluster status
In the output, confirm that operational-status is ok and that there are no health
indications.
2. VPlexcli-1 Type the following command to display a cluster summary:
cluster summary
In the output, verify that both clusters have the same Island ID and an operational
status of ok.
Use a VPlexcli session or the VPLEX Management Console GUI to perform this task.
Recommendations:
If a storage volume is equal to or larger than the desired virtual volume capacity,
◆
create an extent the size of the desired virtual volume.
If a storage volume is smaller than the desired virtual volume capacity, create a
◆
single extent per storage volume, and then use devices to concatenate or stripe
these extents into a larger device.
Create one view for each set of hosts that require access to the same storage.
◆
You can use the VPlexcli or the Management Console GUI to expose storage. The
basic steps are the same for either:
