Starting the metadata server restart service

This topic describes how to enable the metadata server restart service.

Prerequisites

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

Context

The metadata server restart service is enabled by default.

This service enables probes to periodically check the metadata server condition. By continually monitoring the server state, probes can automatically restart the metadata servers as appropriate.

Remember: If a metadata server has the restart service enabled, and the metadata server is later manually shut down, the restart service is disabled and you need to start it again as described in this task.

Steps

  1. Click Maintain System→Restart Service from the My Work frame.
  2. Select one or more metadata servers on which to enable the restart service.

    The Service State field indicates whether the service is currently enabled or disabled for a particular server.

  3. Click Enable Service from the drop-down box in the table header.
  4. Click Go to start the service on the selected server or servers.
