Hi Zander,

We have a git repository. Would you be interested in adding any Zabbix custom metrics gathering to GPFS to it?

Hi All,

As suggested when joining here's a quick intro to me, who I work for and how we use GPFS.

I'm currently a Storage System Administrator for EBI, the European Bioinformatics Institute. We've recently started using GPFS via a three GSS26 system storage cluster connecting to our general purpose compute farm.

GPFS is new for EBI and very new to me as well as HPC in general coming from an ISP networking > General/Windows Sys admin > VMWare sys admin > NetApp sys admin > storage sys admin with a spattering of Linux spread throughout this time of around 17 years.

We are using the GPFS system as a scratch area for our users to run IO intensive work loads on. We have been impressed with some of the figures we've seen but are still in the tweaking stages, for example trying to resolve excessive expulsions (looking resolved), frame overruns and bonding issues.

We monitor a number of metrics via Zabbix which a colleague (the main admin) setup. We work closely with the compute team who manage the compute farm and the client GPFS cluster configured on it. We're a RHEL shop.

I've joined mainly to lurk tbh to see if I can pick up any tips and tweaks.

Hope that's enough!

cheers

Zander
