There is the Scale option: mmchconfig autoBuildGPL=yes When Scale starts, it checks whether the kernel modules are available for the current kernel; and if not, mmbuildgpl is run before acctually starting the daemon. That should be one way to solve this. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.1.7?topic=reference-mmchconfig-command Regards, Christof _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at gpfsug.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss_gpfsug.org
