Deploying BeeGFS on n3

  1. Install the RPM packages.
    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.
    rpm -ivh libbeegfs-ib-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm
  3. Configure the node.
    /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.
    systemctl start beegfs-storage
    systemctl enable beegfs-storage
