Metadata restart service

The administrative server provides an optional metadata server restart service that monitors the metadata server software and restarts it if necessary. If a metadata server hangs, the Remote Serviceability Adapter (RSA) detects that condition and reboots the engine. If the operating system on the engine stops, SAN File System can reboot the operating system. Then, the metadata server restart service is automatically started, and in turn, restarts the metadata server on the engine. When a metadata server is restarted after a soft failure, it resumes serving the same workload that it was serving before the failure.
