Dell PowerFlex Manager 4.6.x CLI Reference Guide
Manual SDC configuration/verification
If there are problems connecting to a PowerFlex system after a reboot, users can modify the drv_cfg.txt file or use the drv_cfg utility to ensure that the SDC reconnects to the MDM automatically upon node restart/reboot.
To do this, perform one of the following procedures:
- Edit
/etc/emc/scaleio/drv_cfg.txt and change the #MDM line to include each IP address for any node(s) containing an MDM in your cluster.
For example, change the line:
From:
#mdm 10.20.30.40
To:
mdm 10.108.158.48,10.108.158.49
where .48 is the primary node, and .49 is the secondary node. The tiebreaker node should not be included.
- Use the drv_cfg binary or drv_cfg.exe on Windows to re-attach the MDM.
- Rescan all volumes using the drv_cfg utility.
