C.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 an assigned server by entering nsscon volumes at the server console.

  2. Enter exit to exit the NSSCON utility.

  3. Check the mirror status of the mirrored partition by starting NSSMU and selecting the RAID device you created in Step 11.

    NSSMU displays the mirror status of the RAID device. If the partitions are still synchronizing, it could take time for NSSMU to display the mirror status.

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

    Enter exit to exit the NSSCON utility.

  5. Using NSSMU, check the mirror status of the partition again.

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 peer clusters.
