This topic describes how to change the IP address of a metadata server in
a typical environment with multiple engines in the cluster.
Context
Following the change of a metadata server IP address, you must reboot
the metadata server.
Steps
- Reassign statically-assigned filesets so the filesets are no longer
served by the metadata server as
necessary.
- Drop the metadata server for
which you want to change the IP address. You can use the dropserver command.
- Reconfigure the engine that the metadata server resides
on so that the engine uses the new IP address. You need to edit the appropriate Linux™ configuration
files.
- Run the setupsfs utility to create a new instance of the metadata
server on the engine and specify the new Server IP address.
- Reboot the metadata server.
- Add the new metadata server to
the cluster from the master metadata server using
the addserver command or the Add a server to Cluster action
from the Servers panel.
