sobriqueWell, I've now got myself a crash course in veritas volume management and cluster service.
It's one of those hairy scary things I've been avoiding. You see, we've got 2 machines with this software on them. They're some big beefy SAN attached sun servers, which are dual path SAN attached.
Unfortunately, they're also the only ones. And they're running out of disk space.
So I was asked to give them more disk.
My response was 'ooh-er. That's not really good, because I've no experience of veritas, and that's like a live production cluster'.
And so I kinda stalled them. For a while they could get by and use NFS storage, but now it's become absolutely essential that I do this.
And I've continued to point out why this is a Really Bad Idea (tm). I mean, I'm not adverse to fiddling around, and try and work it out, but I'm also well aware that doing that with volume management is really playing with fire. (In an 'oops, I just formatted that disk that I really didn't want to' sort of way).
So the printer behinds me sings the sweet song of "360 pages of veritas docs". And I'll have a look, try and get my head around it, and if I can't, we get conslutants in.
Joy.
