Managing Disks
Provides a brief overview of adding and removing disks from the data-fabric filesystem.
You can add and remove disks in the filesystem from the
control system or using the diskadd
and
diskremove
commands. filesystem groups
disks into storage pools, usually made up of two or three disks. When adding disks
to filesystem, it is a good idea to add at least two or three
at a time so that data-fabric can
create properly-sized storage pools. Each node in a data-fabric cluster can support up to 36 storage pools.
To see which disks are used by filesystem, check the
disktab
file that data-fabric maintains on
each node.
