Stuart, I believe you will need to install the gpfs.ext RPMs , otherwise the daemons and commands will think only the Express edition is installed.

While rebuilding an old cluster from scratch we are getting the message: mmcrfs: Storage pools are not available in the GPFS Express Edition. The Problem Determination Guide says to "Install the GPFS Standard Edition on all nodes in the cluster" which we think we have done. The cluster is just 3 servers and no clients at this point. We have verified that our purchased license is for Standard Version, but have not been able to figure out what controls the GPFS view of this. mmlslicense tells us that we have Express Edition installed. mmchlicense sets server vs client license information, but does not seem to be able to control the edition. Our normal install process is to install gpfs.base-4.1.1-0.x86_64.rpm first and then install gpfs.base-4.1.1-15.x86_64.update.rpm followed by the other needed 4.1.1-15 rpms. I thought maybe we had the wrong gpfs.base and we have re-downloaded Standard Edition RPM files from IBM in case we had the wrong version. However, reinstalling and recreating the cluster does not seem to have addressed this issue. We must be doing something stupid during our install, but I'm pretty sure we used only Standard Edition rpms for our latest attempt.
