Installing subordinate metadata servers

This topic provides an overview of the steps required to install the SAN File System subordinate metadata servers.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have fulfilled the following prerequisites before installing each subordinate metadata server:

Use the documentation that comes with your engine and with the RSA II adapter to meet these prerequisites.

Context

The procedures for installing the subordinate metadata servers are the same as the procedure for installing the master metadata servers. You need to perform these procedures on each subordinate metadata server that will be in the SAN File System cluster.

Steps

  1. Prepare the engine for installation. This includes ensuring that the engine is properly cabled, making sure that you obtain all prerequisite software, and running the SAN File System mirroring utility. See Preparing the subordinate engine for installation.
  2. Install all software, including the operating system, prerequisite software, and the SAN File System software. See Installing software for the subordinate metadata server.
  3. Set up the subordinate metadata server by copying configuration files from the master metadata server, configuring the RSA II adapter, and running the SAN File System setup utility. See Setting up a subordinate metadata server.
