All,

The SMAP issue has been addressed in GPFS in 4.2.1.1.

See http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html

Subject:        Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Any experience running native GPFS 
4.2.1 on Xeon Phi node booted with Centos 7.3?

I don't know if this applies her but I seem to recall an issue with CentOS 
7 (newer 3.X and on kernels), Broadwell processors and GPFS where GPFS 
upset SMAP and would eventually get the node expelled. I think this may be 
fixed in newer GPFS releases but the fix is to boot the kernel with the 
nosmap parameter. Might be worth a try. I'm not clear on whether SMAP is 
supported by the Xeon Phi's.

IBM says it should work ok, we are not so sure. We had node expels that 
stopped when we turned off gpfs on that node. Has anyone had better luck?
