Is it possible to designate a node as the primary node for the file system mounted at mount_point?

Is it possible to designate a node as the primary node for the file system mounted at mount_point?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details:
Yes, it is possible to set a node as the primary node.

# /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin/fsclustadm setprimary /mount_point

The setprimary option designates the local node (that is, the node on which fsclustadm is issued) as the primary node for the file system mounted at mount_point. Please refer to the fsclustadm man pages for more information.

Example:
Burger:/#fsclustadm -v showprimary /sharevol
fries
Burger:/#fsclustadm setprimary /sharevol
Burger:/#fsclustadm -v showprimary /sharevol
burger
