After you add a potential metadata server to the shared file system, the SAM-QFS Manager software automatically updates the hosts file on the potential metadata server system.
Before you can add a client or potential metadata server to an existing shared file system, you must have prepared your configuration as described in Planning a Shared File System.
The File Systems Summary page is displayed.
The Shared File System Summary page is displayed.
The Add a Potential Metadata Server or a Shared Client window is displayed.
If you want to add a client to the shared file system, choose Shared Client.
If you want to add a potential metadata server to the shared file system, choose Potential Metadata Server.
The menu lists hosts that have been added to the browser interface, that have the same Sun QFS and Sun SAM release levels as the metadata server, and that have the Sun QFS package installed locally.
/directory-name/file-system-name
Note - If the directory that you specify already exists, you can access existing files in that directory only when the file system is unmounted.
This option is displayed only if the metadata server for the shared file system is mounted.
