- Detect file system

# Detect file system

Contents

To make the Lustre file system appear on the Dashboard and Configuration > File System windows in the manager GUI, complete these steps:

1. | At the menu bar, click Configuration > Servers and click Detect File Systems. A dialogue window listing hosts is displayed.

2. | Select ALL of the servers on which the targets for the file system to be detected are running. Do this for the MGS and all OSSs for this file system, including those OSSs that were already present in this file system. Do NOT add servers that you don't want to add to this file system.

3. | Click Run. A Command detail dialogue window appears showing progress. Status shows Successful when the process is complete.

Note: Due to a known issue, the software may report that the file system you added was not detected. However, you can confirm the creation of the file system.

You can add more servers and add more targets to an existing monitor-only file system. To do this, proceed to Add servers to be monitored only. Then, you must detect the entire file system again, using the steps above.
Note: To be detected, the file system must be running.

Note: To view the Command Detail after detection completes, click on Notifications on the left side of the screen and select Commands at the bottom of the notifications list. To the right of the Detecting file systems command, click Open.

The Lustre file system is now ready to be monitored at the manager GUI.
