Resolution

How can I modify CFSMount resource options without having to offline the mount?

Configuring the mount options for a CFS Cluster can be done in two ways.

1. Using hares to modify the CFSMount resource by modifying the MountOpt attribute of the resource.

hares -modify MountOpt cluster,rw,convosync=direct,mincache=direct

-- Requires an offline and online of the resource for the mount option to take effect.

2. Using the mount command directly to update the mount options.

mount -F vxfs -o remount,cluster,rw,convosync=direct,mincache=direct /dev/vx/dsk// /

--- Your are still required to modify the resource MountOpt so that on the next reonline the correct mount options are used by VCS. Although the remount does not require downtime.

--- The remount would have to be done on each node in the cluster.
