Hi Kevin,

Look at the man page for mmchnode, you’ll need to use the 
“--cnfs-interface=<ip_address_list>” option.

BTW, I get the cleanest looking man pages for GPFS commands by using the “-E 
ascii” option.

You may also have a Round-Robin DNS record setup that includes the current IP 
addresses that you will likely want to update, not forgetting about DNS caching 
timeouts that you may need to let expire before no client attempts to mount 
from an old address.

Hope that helps!

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] CNFS and multiple IP addresses

Hi All,

I’ve looked in the documentation and on the GPFS Wiki for the answer to this 
question but haven’t found it.  Please feel free to point me to docs / web 
pages if I’ve missed something.

One of the GPFS clusters I administer uses CNFS, which I did not set up on this 
cluster … and the person who did is now an employee of another organization.  
The cluster in question runs GPFS 4.1.0.x, although I doubt that matters.

There are 4 CNFS servers, each of which has 2 IP addresses listed under the 
CNFS IP address list when running “mmlscluster —cnfs”.  I want to delete one of 
those two IP addresses for each server due to a planned network reorganization. 
 How do I do that?  Or do I need to completely delete the server from CNFS and 
add it back in with just the one IP address I want to keep?

Thanks in advance…
