Thurein: In the current release of OrangeFS, you cannot remove a server from your filesystem without an outage. To completely remove a server, the data in your filesystem will have to be copied out, the filesystem reinitialized with the new config file, and then copied in. To replace a server, the data and metadata stored on that server can be manually copied over to another server. Reinitialization is not needed in this case. If the new server retains the hostname of the old server, then the config file won't have to change.
The OrangeFS team is developing a methodology that will allow you to remove a server while the filesystem is running. It is high on our priority list. Hope this helps, Becky Ligon On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 4:24 AM, Thurein Aung <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi All, > I am quite new to this PVFS things.
