disable commands A–13
Example
The following example disables the
server_down
alert:
sfs> disable alert server_down
A.9.2
d
isable server
The
disable server
command is used to specify that no services are to run on a server the next time the
server is booted.
There are times when you want to bring up a server without any MDS or OST services running on the server.
To do this, you shut down the server and then enter the
disable server server_name
command.
When you start the server again, no services start on the server. The status of the server is set to
disabled
and the
Server Enabled
field in the output from the
show server
command shows a value of
no
.
If you disable one server in a server pair, the
start filesystem
command and the
stop filesystem
command work normally. If you disable both servers in a server pair, the
start filesystem
command
and the
stop filesystem
command appear to fail on those servers; however, because you rebooted
the server in the
disabled
state, the services will not be running on the servers and the file system is
effectively stopped.
On an Object Storage Server, the
disable server
command stops the clustering software (in addition
to stopping the OST services); this feature is useful when SFS20 arrays are being unconfigured. However,
when you disable the administration or MDS server, the clustering software is not stopped on these servers.
To stop the clustering software on the administration server and MDS server, after you have shut down and
disabled the two servers, log in to each of them and enter the following command:
# service cluster stop
NOTE: You cannot use the
sfsmgr
command while the clustering software is stopped on both the
administration server and the MDS server.
To reenable the clustering software on the administration server or MDS server, enter the following command
on each of the two servers:
#
service cluster start
To disable a server while it is still powered on, specify the
force=yes
option with the disable server
command.
Syntax
disable server server_name|all [force=yes]
Arguments
server_name
|
all
Required. Specify the servers to be disabled, or
all
to disable all Object
Storage Servers. You can specify a single server, a comma-separated list of
servers, or a range of servers.
force=yes
Optional. Disables the server even if the server is still powered on.
Example
The following example disables the
south3
server:
sfs> disable server south3
