Disk groups may betemporarily created for testingpurposes and destroyed (ungrouped)after testing.Testing the coordinator disk group using vxfentsthdw -cUse the vxfentsthdw utility to verify disks are configured to support I/O fencing.In this procedure, the vxfentsthdw utility tests the three disks one disk at a timefrom each node.■■From the node north, the disks are /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2, /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2,and /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0s2.From the node south, the same disks are seen as /dev/rdsk/c4t1d0s2, /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0s2, and /dev/rdsk/c6t1d0s2.Note: To test the coordinator disk group using the vxfentsthdw utility, theutility requires that the coordinator disk group, vxfencoorddg, be accessiblefrom two nodes.To test the coordinator disk group using vxfentsthdw -c1 Use the vxfentsthdw command with the -c option. For example:# /opt/VRTSvcs/vxfen/bin/vxfentsthdw -c vxfencoorddg2 Enter the nodes you are using to test the coordinator disks:Enter the first node of the cluster:northEnter the second node of the cluster:south3 Review the output of the testing process for both nodes for all disks in thecoordinator disk group. Each disk should display output that resembles:ALL tests on the disk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2 have PASSED.The disk is now ready to be configured for I/O Fencing on node north as a COORDINATOR DISK.
