Setting up the metadata server

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

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/tanktool lsserver
    Note: At this point, the current master metadata server is still running in version 1 mode. Therefore, you invoke the ACLI using tanktool. However, after you have transferred the master role to the upgraded metadata server, you will invoke the ACLI using sfscli.
    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.
