This topic describes how to add a metadata server to
the cluster.
Prerequisites
You must have Administrator or Operator privileges to perform
this task.
Before adding the metadata server using the SAN
File System console or the administrative CLI, you must have already started
the metadata server using the setupsfs -newserver command.
Context
The metadata server that
you are adding must be in a state of "not added." The cluster to which you
are adding the server must be online.
Steps
- To add a metadata server using the SAN File System
console:
- Click from the My Work frame.
- Click Add a Server to Cluster from the
drop-down box in the table header.
- Click Go.
- Enter the IP address of the metadata server in
the IP Address field. If the cluster port is different than the default cluster
port, you can append the port number to the IP address with a colon delimiter.
For example, to specify an IP address of 9.67.101.202 and a port number of
1738, you can enter 9.67.101.202:1738.
- Click OK to start the process.
- To add a metadata server using the administrative
CLI:
- Add the metadata server to the cluster using the addserver command.
For example: addserver 10.30.30.104 .
You should receive the following message: metadata_server_name was
successfully added to the cluster.
- Verify that the server is part of the cluster using the lsserver command.
