Perform the following operations to configure a node:

Operation	Description
Configure storage on the node (only if the mapr-fileserver is installed on the node)	To configure storage on a node, you can use `configure.sh` to run `disksetup` or you can manually run `disksetup` after you run `configure.sh`.
Run the configure.sh utility	The configure.sh utility configures a node to be part of a MapR cluster. The script performs operations such as creating or updating configuration files related to the cluster and the services running on the node.
