How do I install a PVFS2 meta server?

Install a PVFS2 meta server

If you installed the PVFS2 roll, you can install this appliance type. The PVFS2 appliance installs a server that acts as both a PVFS2 Meta Server and Data Server. It will create a sample PVFS2 filesystem that is mounted under /mnt/pvfs2.

Install a PVFS2 meta server using the following steps:

  1. Log into the frontend as root
  2. Run insert-ethers and select the Pvfs2-meta-server appliance type.
  3. Install the PVFS2 meta server using PXE boot
  4. Repeat the process till all the nodes to be used as Data Servers are installed.
  5. Exit insert-ethers by pressing F9.
  6. Follow the instructions in the PVFS2 Roll section under Production Cluster Configuration to complete the configuration.
