Setting up a metadata server engine

This topic describes how to set up the metadata server engine after you have installed all software.

Context

The master metadata server is currently running version 2.1 of the SAN File System software. Therefore, you must run Version 2.1 command syntax when running any commands from the upgraded master metadata server.

Steps

  1. Ensure that the engine is powered ON and that you are logged in as root.
  2. Start the metadata server.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/setupsfs -noprompt
  3. From the master metadata server, list all servers in the SAN File system cluster to verify that the metadata server has rejoined the cluster.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli lsserver
    Note: You may have to start the upgraded metadata server. If you need to start it, you can run the startserver command.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli startserver metadata_server_name
    You should see the upgraded server in the list of metadata servers:
    Name      State  Server Role Containers Last Boot
    =============================================================
    mstr_mds  Online Master               3 Feb 13, 2004 2:46:28 PM
    sub_mds1  Online Subordinate          1 Feb 16, 2004 4:26:08 AM

    If you did not move the workload from the metadata server before upgrading, the filesets managed by the upgraded metadata server should again be accessible to SAN File System client.
