Deploying BeeGFS on n2

  1. Install the RPM packages.
    rpm -ivh beegfs-common-7.2.2-el7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh beegfs-meta-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm
  2. (Optional) To use the InfiniBand RDMA function, install the libbeegfs-ib-7.2-el7.aarch64.rpm package.
    rpm -ivh libbeegfs-ib-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm
  3. Configure the node.
    /opt/beegfs/sbin/beegfs-setup-meta -p /data/beegfs/beegfs_meta -s 2 -m n1

    Parameter description:

    • s indicates the ID of a customized digital metadata service. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The metadata service is configured on node n2, the second node. Therefore, select 2 as the metadata service ID. The service needs to know where it can store data and where the management service runs.
    • 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.
    systemctl start beegfs-meta
systemctl enable beegfs-meta
