Configuring SAN File System

This topic provides an overview of configuring the SAN File System.

There are several configuration steps required before you can begin using the SAN File System. These steps include:
  • Configuring each of the metadata server engines in the cluster to use the master console as an SNMP manager. This allows you to enable the Service Alert and Remote Access features. See Configuring metadata servers for SNMP traps.
  • Configure storage pools for storing both user data (user storage pools) and metadata (system storage pool). See Creating storage pools.
  • Configure filesets to specify which metadata server manages a particular fileset and how much space can be allocated to files within a fileset. See Configuring filesets.
  • Create placement policies to specify how files are placed in storage pools. See Placement policies.
  • Optionally, you can migrate existing data to be managed by the SAN File System. See Migrating data.
