You'll need to be a little more explicit about your question. In general there is nothing special that needs to be done. If you're trying to get multiple active MDSes (instead of active and standby/standby-replay/etc) you'll need to tell the monitors to increase the mds num (check the docs; this is not recommended right now). You obviously need to add an MDS entry to one of your nodes somewhere, the mechanism for which can differ based on how you're managing your cluster. But you don't need to do anything explicit like tell everybody globally that there are multiple MDSes. -Greg On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 10:48 AM, JIten Shah <jshah2005@xxxxxx> wrote: > Do I need to update the ceph.conf to support multiple MDS servers? > > —Jiten > > On Nov 24, 2014, at 6:56 AM, Gregory Farnum <greg@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 10:36 PM, JIten Shah <jshah2005@xxxxxx> wrote: >>> Hi Greg, >>> >>> I haven’t setup anything in ceph.conf as mds.cephmon002 nor in any ceph >>> folders.
