Reassign filesets to another metadata server in the cluster

This topic describes how to reassign filesets to another metadata server in the SAN File System cluster from Version 2.1.

Context

Any filesets managed by this metadata server engine will be unavailable to clients while the engine is being upgraded. If it is important to maintain the availability of the filesets during the upgrade process, you will need to reassign the filesets to another metadata server in the cluster.

The master metadata server has already been upgraded. Therefore, you will need to run the Version 2.1 commands to reassign the filesets.

Steps

  1. List all of the filesets assigned to the metadata server to be upgraded.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli lsfileset -server metadata_server_name
  2. Assign the filesets to different metadata server.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli setfilesetserver -server new_metadata_server_name
    fileset1 fileset2 fileset3
