Hello,
I am a new user of GPFS (Spectrum Scale) and would like to know if there is a
‘best practice’ on handling kernel updates on HPC clients. We are running
Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 clients with 5.1.x, talking to RHEL storage servers, and
would like to know how to handle re-compiling the client-side kernel modules.
There is of course the “mmbuildgpl” utility:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.1.3?topic=reference-mmbuildgpl-command
but how do folks invoke it? Manually, via cron at night on or reboot, via some
kind of apt (dpkg-trigger(1)) / RPM hook?
We have the “unattended-upgrades” package enabled, which only installs
security-tagged updates by default, but sometimes this does include kernel
updates, which may become active on the next reboot:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=unattended-upgrades
So is there a best practice? Has someone invented this wheel that I could
leverage, or will I have to invent it myself?
Thanks for any info.
