Adding a metadata server to the cluster

This topic describes how to add a metadata server to the cluster.

Prerequisites

You must have Administrator or Operator privileges to perform this task.

Context

The metadata server that you are adding must be in a state of "not added."

Steps

  1. Click Manage Servers and Clients→Servers from the My Work frame.
  2. Click Add a Server to Cluster from the drop-down box in the table header.
  3. Click Go.
  4. Enter the IP address of the metadata server in the IP Address field. If the cluster port is different than the default cluster port, you can append the port number to the IP address with a colon delimiter. For example, to specify an IP address of 9.67.101.202 and a port number of 1738, you can enter 9.67.101.202:1738.
  5. Click OK to start the process.
