Setting a quorum disk using the CLI
You can set an external managed disk (MDisk) as a quorum disk by using the command-line interface (CLI).
Note: Quorum functionality is not supported for
internal drives on SAN Volume Controller nodes.
To set an MDisk as a quorum disk, use the chquorum command.
When setting an MDisk as a quorum disk, keep the
following recommendations in mind:
- When possible, distribute the quorum candidate disks so that each MDisk is provided by a different storage system. For a list of storage systems that support quorum disks, search for supported hardware list at the following website:
- Before you set the quorum disk with the chquorum command, use the lsquorum command to ensure that the MDisk you want is online.
