Deploying BeeGFS on n3

  1. Install the RPM packages.
    1
    rpm -ivh beegfs-common-7.2.2-el7.noarch.rpm beegfs-storage-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm
    
  2. (Optional) To use the InfiniBand RDMA function, install the rpm -ivh libbeegfs-ib-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm package.
    1
    rpm -ivh libbeegfs-ib-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm
    
  3. Configure the node.
    1
    /opt/beegfs/sbin/beegfs-setup-storage -p /mnt/md0/beegfs_storage -s 3 -i 301 -m n1
    

    Parameter description:

    • s indicates the ID of a customized digital metadata service. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The storage service is configured on node n3. The service needs to know where it can store data and how it reaches the management server. Typically, multiple storage services and/or objects (for example, multiple RAID volumes) are running on different devices. n3 is the third node. Therefore, select 3 as the storage service ID.
    • i indicates the ID of the storage object. For example, the ID 301 indicates that it is the first object (01) of the storage service (3).
    • m indicates the name of the management node. Set this parameter based on the actual conditions.
  4. Start the service and enable it to start as the system boots.
