You do realize 3.5 is out of service, correct? You should be looking at 
upgrading :-)

Catching this is real time, when you have a large number of nodes is going to 
be tough. How you recognizing that the file system is overloaded? Waiters? 
Looking at which nodes/NSDs have the longest/largest waiters may provide a clue.

You might also take a look at mmpmon – it’s a bit difficult to use in its raw 
state, but it does provide some good stats on a per file system basis. But you 
need to track these over times to get what you need.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] How to find which node is generating high 
iops in a GPFS 3.5

Hi I have a 3.5 GPFS system with 700+ nodes. I sometime have nodes that 
generate a lot of iops on the large file system but I cannot find the right 
tool to find which node is the source. I'm guessing under 4.2.X, there are now 
easy tools, but what can be done under GPFS 3.5.
