NAME
fsm - Xsan File System Manager
SYNOPSIS
fsm [file_system_name [host_name]]
DESCRIPTION
The fsm is the server daemon that manages a Xsan Volume The File System
Manager (FSM) manages the volume's name space, allocations, and meta-
data coherency. It is also used for I/O bandwidth and storage pool man-
agement functions. The default Xsan volume name is default, and the
default host name is the system's hostname as found by the gethost-
name(2) library call.
Multiple FSM processes may co-exist on one system, as long as they have
unique volume names. The volume name is used by the mount(1M) command,
along with the hostname separated by a colon (:). For example, if an
FSM process was started on host fsmhost and the volume name was
declared projecta and the mount point was /usr/clips, then the mount
command would be:
mount -t acfs fsmhost:projecta /usr/clips
This process runs in the background and is started at boot time. It is
enabled or disabled via chkconfig(1M) or init.d(4) using the cvfs key
word.
To start multiple FSM daemons (therefore multiple volumes) on a single
system the fsmlist file must be created to describe which FSM daemons
to start. See fsmpm(8) and fsmlist(4) for details.
