D.4 Checking NSS Volume Mirror Status

After you have configured NSS mirroring with Novell Cluster Services™, you should check to ensure that it is working properly in a cluster environment.

  1. Ensure that the volumes on the cluster-enabled pool are mounted on the assigned server by entering volumes at the server console.

  2. Check the mirror status of the mirrored partition by entering mirror status at the server console of the server where the NSS pool on the mirrored partition is active.

    After entering mirror status, you should see a message indicating that mirror status is 100 percent or a message indicating that the mirrored object is fully synchronized.

  3. Migrate the pool to another server in the cluster, and check again to ensure that the volumes on the pool are mounted by entering volumes at the server console.

  4. Check the mirror status of the partition again by entering mirror status at the server console.

IMPORTANT:If you create or delete a pool or partition on shared storage that is part of a business continuity cluster, you must run the cluster scan for new devices command on a server in each of the other clusters that belong to the business continuity cluster.
