Set up the CFS Server
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Did you Set up the DX Object Storage Cluster?
NOTE:
Make sure there is a DNS entry for the CIFS/NFS interface of the server. In the case the site
does not have a DNS server, make sure that hostname is resolvable to the CIFS/NFS interface IP
address from the /etc/hosts file.
This section includes the steps for setting up and activating the CFS
Server. The procedures should be performed in the following order:
Create RAID volumes on the CFS
Initiate and configure the operating system.
Verify the necessary BIOS Settings
Disable SELinux
Create the YUM Repository
Configure the Network Interfaces for Bonding
Configure the Domain Name Server Resolver
Set up the NTP Server
Install the CFS Software
Stop Gateway Server Services
Assumptions and Requirements
±
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 or later is factory-installed on the CFS system.
±
You have configured the CSN, and the cluster is up and running.
IMPORTANT:
Before you begin the installation, ensure that you have the following network
information:
±
Ethernet port addresses
±
Gateway address
±
Domain Name Server address
Validate BIOS settings
For the CFS server to function, several options must be set in the BIOS <F2>:
±
All processors and cores enabled
±
SATA ports A and B set to Automatic
±
In the Integrated Devices category, Gb NICs enabled (not with PXE)
