10. Configuring Cluster Storage

To configure storage for a cluster, click the storage tab. Clicking that tab causes the display of
the Welcome to Storage Configuration Interface page.
The storage tab allows you to monitor and configure storage on remote systems. It provides a
means for configuring disk partitions, logical volumes (clustered and single system use), file
system parameters, and mount points. The storage tab provides an interface for setting up
shared storage for clusters and offers GFS and other file systems as file system options. When
a you select the storage tab, the Welcome to Storage Configuration Interface page shows a
list of systems available to the you in a navigation table to the left. A small form allows you to
choose a storage unit size to suit your preference. That choice is persisted and can be changed
at any time by returning to this page. In addition, you can change the unit type on specific
configuration forms throughout the storage user interface. This general choice allows you to
avoid difficult decimal representations of storage size (for example, if you know that most of
your storage is measured in gigabytes, terabytes, or other more familiar representations).
Additionally, the Welcome to Storage Configuration Interface page lists systems that you are
authorized to access, but currently are unable to administer because of a problem. Examples of
problems:
• A computer is unreachable via the network.
• A computer has been re-imaged and the luci server admin must re-authenticate with the ricci
agent on the computer.
A reason for the trouble is displayed if the storage user interface can determine it.
Only those computers that the user is privileged to administer is shown in the main navigation
table. If you have no permissions on any computers, a message is displayed.
After you select a computer to administer, a general properties page is displayed for the
