Yes, I'm positive. There's only one metadata device on the system.
I've sent you a link off-list where you can get a dump of it. If needed,
I might be able to give you remote access to the system, but it's via
serial console and might be a bit painful. (I doubt you'd want to use the
IPMI in the server unless you should happen to be a fan of Internet Explorer.)
