sanfsd

Starts the sanfsd program on a Solaris client. This program responds to data LUN operation requests from metadata servers. The sanfsd program is started automatically when the mount command succeeds so you would not need to ever invoke this command under normal conditions.

Parameters

–instance mount_point
Specifies the directory on which the client instance is mounted.
–device pattern
Determines which devices (also called disks or LUNs) that the client considers as SAN File System volumes. An example device pattern is /dev/dsk/c*t*d*s2. For SDD devices, specify /dev/dsk/vpath*c. Enclose the pattern in single quotes so the shell does not expand the asterisk characters.

Prerequisites

You must have root privileges to use this command.

Description

The sanfsd program starts automatically when the mount command successfully runs a mount invocation. A sanfsd program runs for each SAN File System mount. The sanfsd program stops when its accompanying mount point is unmounted. If the program is not running for a particular mount, the client cannot respond to data LUN operations until the program is restarted.

Example

Start the sanfsd program. The following example starts the sanfsd program for the local client for Solaris that is mounted on /mnt/sanfs and specifies non-SDD devices. For SDD devices, you would specify –device '/dev/dsk/vpath*c'.:
sanfsd –instance /mnt/sanfs -device '/dev/dsk/c*t*d*s2'
