I think you "got it" - despite the name "remote" - mmremotefs is an access method and a way of organizing your data and machines into several clusters - which can work great if your network(s) are fast enough. For example you can have one or more client clusters with no GPFS(Spectrum Scale) file systems stored "locally". And one or several clusters that are servers to those client clusters.
AFM is about caching and replicating files... You might do that because of "remote-ness" - or for other reasons... --marc From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: gpfsug main discussion list <[email protected]> Date: 03/30/2017 12:09 PM Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] AFM vs mmremotefs Sent by: [email protected] When does it make sense to use mmremotefs vs AFM? With mmremotefs the actual data lives on the remote cluster right so if you need data closer then AFM make more sense to use? If the clusters get disconnected with mmremotefs I have not access to the data with AFM I do. Do I have these concepts right in my head? Mark R.
