Deploying BeeGFS on n4

Install the RPM packages.

rpm -ivh beegfs-common-7.2.2-el7.noarch.rpm beegfs-client-7.2.2-el7.noarch.rpm beegfs-helperd-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm beegfs-utils-7.2.2-el7.aarch64.rpm

Open the beegfs-client.conf file.
```
vim /etc/beegfs/beegfs-client.conf
```
Change the value of sysMountSanityCheckMS.
```
sysMountSanityCheckMS          = 0
```
(Optional) Modify the /etc/beegfs/beegfs-client-autobuild.conf file.
Perform this step only when network hardware (InfiniBand, Omni-Path, or RoCE) that supports RDMA is available. Otherwise, skip this step.
1. Open the beegfs-client-autobuild.conf file.
```
vim /etc/beegfs/beegfs-client-autobuild.conf
```
2. Find the buildArgs option and enable the ibverbs support.
```
buildArgs=-j8 BEEGFS_OPENTK_IBVERBS=1
```
3. The default settings do not support InfiniBand. To support InfiniBand, add OFED_INCLUDE_PATH.
```
buildArgs=-j8 BEEGFS_OPENTK_IBVERBS=1 OFED_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/src/openib/include
```
Configure the node.
```
/opt/beegfs/sbin/beegfs-setup-client -m n1
```
By default, BeeGFS is mounted to /mnt/beegfs. You can change the directory in the /etc/beegfs/beegfs-mounts.conf file.

Start the service and enable it to start as the system boots.

systemctl start beegfs-helperd
systemctl enable beegfs-helperd
systemctl start beegfs-client
systemctl enable beegfs-client

Check the network port and transport protocol detected from the client node.

beegfs-ctl --listnodes --nodetype=meta --nicdetails
beegfs-ctl --listnodes --nodetype=storage --nicdetails
beegfs-ctl --listnodes --nodetype=client --nicdetails
beegfs-net             # Display the actual connection used by the client.
beegfs-check-servers   # Display the service connectivity.
beegfs-df                # Display the free space and index nodes of the storage and metadata targets.
