Upgrading additional metadata servers

This topic provides the procedure for upgrading all remaining metadata servers in the SAN File System cluster.

Context

After you have upgraded the initial metadata server and made it the new master metadata server, perform these steps on each of the other metadata servers in the cluster.

Steps

  1. Prepare the metadata server engine for upgrade so that the SAN File System cluster continues to function while you are upgrading this metadata server engine. See Preparing an engine for upgrade.
  2. Install all software on the metadata server engine. See Installing software on a metadata server.
  3. Restore the configuration settings. See Restore configuration settings.
  4. Set up the metadata server engine and validate that it is installed correctly by having it rejoin the cluster and ensuring that this metadata server engine has access to LUNs and volumes. See Setting up a metadata server engine.
  5. If you disabled the boot drive mirror, you can now re-enable the mirror. See Re-enabling the boot drive mirror.
  6. Complete the upgrade process by reassigning filesets to this metadata server and configuring SNMP traps. See Completing the upgrade process.
