Hi, I'm looking to copy/move files from one gpfs file system to another in some efficient way. Initially I was thinking to not create another file system and just add the nsd to the current file system and gradually remove the old nsd. That would have been the easiest with little impact to the users. But I wanted to switch from a scatter allocation to a cluster allocation (too improve performance) and I cannot to that if I just add/remove nsd. I'm hopping for a better solution then a plain rsync which would probably take a few days (~210TB).
Is there a gpfs solution to this? Also, another question, under what condition a scatter allocation better then cluster allocation. We currently have a cluster of 650 nodes all accessing the same 230TB gpfs file system.
