Section 8.3.2, Creating an LVM Volume Group Cluster Resource with NSSMU

Section 8.3.3, Creating an LVM Volume Group Cluster Resource with NLVM Commands

If you enable NCP for the volume, the LVM volume name must comply with the limitations for NCP volume names described in Section 5.4, Naming Conventions for NCP Volume Names. If you use lowercase letters for the volume name, they are automatically changed to uppercase for the NCP volume name.

You can specify an unshared initialized device, a shared device with no data partitions, or an uninitialized device.

Section 7.7, Creating a Non-LVM Linux Volume

Section 7.8, Creating an LVM Logical Volume

If you enable NCP for the volume, the volume name must comply with the limitations for NCP volume names described in Section 5.4, Naming Conventions for NCP Volume Names. If you use lowercase letters for the volume name, they are automatically changed to uppercase for the NCP volume name.

Section 7.11, Dismounting Linux Volumes

The nlvm linux unmount command allows you to dismount a Linux volume from NCP and Linux with a single command.

Section 6.9, Creating a Non-LVM Linux Volume

Section 6.10, Creating an LVM Logical Volume

If you enable NCP for the volume, the volume name must comply with the limitations for NCP volume names described in Section 5.4, Naming Conventions for NCP Volume Names. If you use lowercase letters for the volume name, they are automatically changed to uppercase for the NCP volume name.

Section 6.13, Dismounting a Linux Volume

This section is new.

Default Ext3 Inode Size

To allow space for extended attributes and ACLs for a file on Ext3 file systems, the default inode size for Ext3 was increased from 128 bytes on SLES 10 to 256 bytes on SLES 11.

Section 5.2, Using RAID Devices for Linux POSIX Volumes

We recommend that you do not use Linux software RAIDs (such as MD RAIDs and Device Mapper RAIDs) for devices that you plan to use for storage objects that are managed by NSS management tools. The Novell Linux Volume Manager (NLVM) utility and the NSS Management Utility (NSSMU) list Linux software RAID devices that you have created by using Linux tools. Beginning with Linux Kernel 3.0 in OES 11 SP1, NLVM and NSSMU can see these devices, initialize them, and allow you to create storage objects on them. However, this capability has not yet been fully tested.
