This topic provides an overview of troubleshooting an administrative server.
Each metadata server in the SAN File System cluster runs an instance of the administrative server, which provides administrative access to the metadata server. The administrative server running on the engine that hosts the master metadata server is referred to as the primary administrative server. All other administrative server instances are referred to as secondary administrative servers.

If users point to the IP address of a subordinate metadata server and the master metadata server is online, they will automatically be redirected to the IP address of the master metadata server.
Many commands will provide output if run from a subordinate metadata server. However, the output may not be what you expect. For example, the lsserver command provides information about the metadata servers in the cluster if you run the command from the master metadata server. If you run this command from a subordinate metadata server, you will see details about that specific metadata server only.
