Extracts the product (disk) label information contained in the master volume and creates a local copy of the Tank.Bootstrap file.
This task must be performed only by trained service technicians.
The cluster must be stopped.
This command is located in the /usr/tank/server/bin directory.
This command is used in disaster recovery situations or when attaching new hardware to an existing set of SAN devices.
Each metadata server in the cluster stores a local copy of the product label that is on the master volume. The local copy is stored in the file /usr/tank/server/config/Tank.Bootstrap, in binary format. SAN File System uses this information to locate the master volume on the SAN at boot time. After it is located, the cluster definition can be read. You would use this command when the local copy of the Tank.Bootstrap file is lost to extract the product label from the system master volume and recreate the local Tank.Bootstrap file.
This command is used to recreate the local Tank.Bootstrap file on the master metadata server in a single-engine cluster. The Tank.Bootstrap file is created on each remaining metadata server as they are added to the cluster (using the addserver command). It is not necessary or recommended to run this command on every metadata server or to copy this file from one metadata server to another.
This command allows a single-engine cluster to be brought up on new hardware in the case of disaster recovery or when you attach new hardware to an existing cluster. Recovering the Tank.Bootstrap file is required only when copies on all engine hosting metadata servers in the cluster are lost.
#/usr/tank/server/tank extractbootrecord –device /dev/rsdc Label information from master disk /dev/srdc was extracted and stored in Tank.Bootstrap.
