Moving the /store/ariel file system to a Fibre Channel Solution
You can move the JSA data that is maintained in the /store/ariel file system and mount the /store/ariel file system to a Fibre Channel (FC) device partition.
- Connect JSA to the Fibre Channel and restart.
-
Stop the JSA services by typing the following commands in the order specified:
systemctl stop systemStabMon systemctl stop hostcontext systemctl stop ecs-ec-ingress systemctl stop tomcat systemctl stop hostservices systemctl stop crond
-
Create a temporary directory by typing the following command:
mkdir /tmp/fcdata
-
Mount the Fibre Channel storage partition to the temporary directory by typing the
following command, where <partition> is the name of the device
partition:
mount /dev/<partition> /tmp/fcdata
-
Copy the data to the Fibre Channel device by typing the following command:
cp -af /store/ariel/* /tmp/fcdata
-
Unmount the Fibre Channel partition by typing the following command:
umount /tmp/fcdata
-
Verify the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of the Fibre Channel device partition
by typing the following command, where <partition> is the name of the device
partition:
blkid /dev/<partition>
-
Edit the fstab file by typing the following command:
vi /etc/fstab
-
Add the mount point for the /store/ariel file system by adding the
following text, where <uuid> is the UUID of the Fibre Channel device
partition, to the /etc/fstab file.
If the file system is XFS:
UUID=<uuid> /store/ariel xfs inode64,logbsize=256k,noatime,nobarrier 0 0
If the file system is ext4:
UUID=<uuid> /store/ariel ext4 defaults,noatime,nobarrier 0 0
- Save and close the file.
-
Mount the /store/ariel file system to the FC device partition by
typing the following command:
mount /store/ariel
-
Start the JSA services by typing the following commands in the order specified:
systemctl start crond systemctl start hostservices systemctl start tomcat systemctl start ecs-ec-ingress systemctl start hostcontext systemctl start systemStabMon
-
Verify the Fibre Channel mount point by typing the following command:
df -h
