Jira (PUP-1628) Add mount provider for AIX

[Eric Thompson (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Eric Thompson updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-1628 Add mount provider for AIX Change By: Eric Thompson Puppet does not provides a correct provider for the mount type on AIX. A new provider must be created. Mountpoints in AIX are managed by the commands: crfs, lsfs, rmfs, chfs (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds1/crfs.htm). For nfs mountpoints the commands mknfsmnt, chnfsmnt, rmnfsmnt and chnfsmnt are provided, but they can partially be managed with former commands. The commands update the file /etc/filesystems that has following syntax:     /usr:        dev             = /dev/hd2        vfs             = jfs2        log             = /dev/hd8        mount           = automatic        check           = false        type            = bootfs        vol             = /usr        free            = false     /var:        dev             = /dev/hd9var        vfs             = jfs2        log             = /dev/hd8        mount           = automatic        check           = false        type            = bootfs        vol             = /var        free            = false **IMPORTANT**: crfs (create) and rmfs (remove), if it is a local filesystem,  will create and format (using jfs/jfs2) the needed Logical Volume, or directly remove the Logical Volume losing data.    Two approaches:  1. Use command line tools and operate as expected by AIX commands: Operate on the LV. In that case type should be extended with new parameters (Volume Group, LV name, size...)  2. Modify directly /etc/filesystems files, and manage the Logical Volumes using a LVM type (as in other OS) risk: medium (manual validate) probability: medium (aix) severity: medium (can't manage aix mounts) test layer (no acceptance setup for aix) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346-sha1:dbc023d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
