Removing metadata server software

This topic describes how to remove the SAN File System software from the metadata server.

Prerequisites

Before running the dropserver command, you must reassign all static filesets on the server to be dropped to another server. Use setfilesetserver to reassign the static filesets.

Steps

  1. Drop the server from the cluster.
  2. Type dropserver server_name from the master engine, and press Enter, where server_name is the name of the metadata server from which you need to remove the SAN File System software.
  3. Type rpm -e package_name on the engine hosting the metadata server to be removed, and press Enter to remove the metadata server component software package, where package_name is the file name of the metadata server package (for example, rpm –e storagetank-server-RHLAS-1.0.0.rpm).
