How to Mount a Client or Potential Metadata Server

Before You Begin

Before you can mount a client or potential metadata server of a shared file system, the fsmgmtd service must running and available on the metadata server and on the client or potential metadata server that you are mounting. Additionally, the metadata server must be mounted.

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server that is acting as the metadata server or as the potential metadata server for the shared file system.

    The File Systems Summary page is displayed.

  2. Scroll through the table and click the shared file system for which you want to mount a client or potential metadata server.

    The File System Details page is displayed.

  3. Select the radio button next to the client or potential metadata server that you want to mount.
  4. From the Operations menu, choose Mount.

    The client or potential metadata server is redisplayed with the mounted value in its Mount State column.
