This topic describes how to install the SAN File System software
on a metadata server engine.
Steps
- Make sure the SAN File System CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM
drive and the CD-ROM drive is mounted.
- Install the SAN File System package repository. This repository
contains the software packages for all SAN File System components, including
the metadata server, the administrative server, and all clients.
rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/sfs-package-build_level.i386.rpm
- Change to the packages subdirectory.
cd /usr/tank/packages
- Install the administrative package.
rpm -ivh sfs.admin.linux-build_level.i386.rpm
- Install the metadata server package:
rpm -ivh sfs.server.linux-build_level.i386.rpm
- Run the Target Machine Validation Tool (TMVT) to verify that your
hardware and software prerequisites have been met.
/usr/tank/server/bin/tmvt -r report_file_name
Examine the results in report_file_name, paying particular
attention to areas flagged as non-compliant. Resolve those prerequisites,
and then rerun the tool until all prerequisites are compliant.Note: TMVT
non-compliance does not strictly prevent the installation of the SAN File
System. It identifies deviations from the recommended hardware and software
platform.
Postrequisites
After you have completed the installation of the SAN File System
software, you need to set your PATH environment variable to include the following
paths:
- /usr/tank/server/bin
- /usr/tank/admin/bin
