Lustre Server version: 2.10.2
Backing filesystem: ldiskfs
Operating System: CentOS 7.4
New Specs (along with hardware upgrade):
Lustre Server Version: 2.10.7
Backing filesystem: ldiskfs
Operating System: CentOS 7.6.1810
I'm moving my MDT and MGT (on a different block device) to new
hardware. The directions for the MDT backup/restore are well documented
in the manual. But it really doesn't say much about the MGT. I decided
to "wing it" and did a backup using the same tar arguments for the MDT,
"--xattrs --xattrs-include="trusted.*" --sparse". But, I decided to
hold off on the restore until I get confirmation on this procedure.
I found an old message (4/1/2010) on this topic. But, the responder
also gave a listing of the MGT contents and it looks nothing like the
MGT contents on my system.
Could someone give a definitive answer on this?
Thank You,
Roger S.
