DESCRIPTION

16       pvfs2-genconfig helps create the config files used by  pvfs2-server(1).
17       Users  can  pass  any  number  of  command  line options, in which case
18       pvfs2-genconfig will not prompt and use the value of the options in the
19       generated  config  file.   Without  any  command  line options, it will
20       prompt the user for key information
21
22       The global_config_file and local_config_file options warrant  a  little
23       explanation.  pvfs2-genconfig will create one config file with settings
24       applicable to every server in the system.   It  will  also  create  one
25       smaller  config file with settings applicable to the individual servers
26       in the system.  Getting the many server-specific config  files  out  to
27       the server nodes is left as an exercise for the reader.

OPTIONS

31       --protocol
32              The communication method the servers will use.  As of this writ‐
33              ing, the only supported options are "gm" (for myrinet  networks)
34              and "tcp".
35
36       --port The port the server will bind to.  This port should be appropri‐
37              ate for the protocol: GM ports must be in  the  range  0-7,  for
38              example.
39
40       --ioservers
41              A  comma-delimited  list  of  servers  used for datafiles.  This
42              option can be given more than  one  time.   Each  instance  will
43              append to the list of servers.
44
45       --metaservers
46              A  comma-delimited  list  of  servers  used  for metadata.  This
47              option can be given more than  one  time.   Each  instance  will
48              append to the list of servers.  Note that as of pvfs-0.0.3, more
49              than one metadata server is not supported.
50
51       --logfile
52              Directory in which the server will create its logfile.
53
54       --storage
55              Directory in which the server will create its storage space
56
57       --quiet
58              Generate the config file w/o echoing any output to the screen.
