Hi Lyle, Can you forward this to the right person.

(GSFC-606.2)[COMPUTER SCIENCE CORP]" <[email protected]> To: gpfsug main discussion list <[email protected]> Date: 12/19/2017 02:01 PM Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] gpfsug-discuss Digest, Vol 71, Issue 35 Sent by: [email protected] It’s not supported on SLES11 either. IBM didn’t (that I saw) talk much about this publicly or give customers a chance to provide feedback about the decision. I know it was raised at the UG in NY and I recall a number of people saying it would be a significant issue for them (myself included) as is the fact they no longer support Debian with scale 5.0. I’d raised the issue on the mailing list after the UG trying to start the discussion but IBM said they weren’t ready to talk about it publicly and I can only guess they had already set their sights and didn’t actually want feedback. This is actually pretty frustrating. I’m tempted to open an RFE but most of my RFEs either have been rejected or just sit idle so I’m not clear there’s a benefit.

These require the use of the CES component for monitoring the protocols. If you do use them then you need to wait for a release of Spectrum Scale in which the integrated protocols are also supported on RHEL 7.4.

Sent by: [email protected] Currently, the IBM support matrix says: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux that 4.2.3.5 is supported on RHEL 7.4, but with a footnote: "AFM, Integrated Protocols, and Installation Toolkit are not supported on RHEL 7.4." We don't use AFM or the install toolkit. But we *do* make fairly heavy use of mmces and nfs-ganesha - is that what they mean by "Integrated Protocols"? (We're looking at doing upgrades next month while our HPC clusters are doing their upgrades - and going to 7.4 would be nice. If there's a mine field there, I need to make sure we stay at 7.3 - plus applicable non-7.4 updates) _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gpfsug.org_mailman_listinfo_gpfsug-2Ddiscuss&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=p_1XEUyoJ7-VJxF_w8h9gJh8_Wj0Pey73LCLLoxodpw&m=3Z9HrSAviMivcR98fNZ28F-RQq7ZPp-1UZtazzLnaUU&s=HlT2amKtCbngYmKNb3_I4NKvn8aFGXCqcJARCbu4AOE&e= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had previously tested AFM and found everything working, but 7.4 may have slipped in last month. The AFM relationship seems to work but `mmafmctl premigrate` commands fail. I would revert packages if I could figure out where the issue lies. -Eric On Mon, Dec 18, 2017 at 9:10 PM, Frederick Stock <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes the integrated protocols are the Samba and Ganesha that are bundled > with Spectrum Scale.
