We have a 10-node cluster running gpfs 4.2.2.3, where 8 nodes are GPFS contact nodes for 2 filesystems, and 2 are protocol nodes doingNFS exports of the filesystems.
But we see some nodes in remote clusters trying to GPFS connect to the 2 protocol nodes anyhow. My reading of the manpages is that the remote cluster is responsible for setting '-n contactNodes' when they do the 'mmremotecluster add', and there's no way to sanity check or enforce that at the local end, and fail/flag connections to unintended non-contact nodes if the remote admin forgets/botches the -n. Is that actually correct? If so, is it time for an RFE?
