I can't help but comment that it's amazing that GPFS is using a txt config file instead of requiring a command run that stores config data into a non-editable (but still editable) flat file database... Wow 2018!!
Hahahahaha! -Bryan From: gpfsug-discuss-boun...@spectrumscale.org [mailto:gpfsug-discuss-boun...@spectrumscale.org] On Behalf Of Mathias Dietz Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2018 3:44 AM To: gpfsug main discussion list <gpfsug-discuss@spectrumscale.org> Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] mmhealth with 4.2.3-5 gives many false alarms ib_rdma_nic_unrecognized Note: External Email ________________________________ Hello Heiner, with 4.2.3-5 mmhealth is always monitoring all ports of a configured IB adapter even if the port is not specified in verbsPorts. Development has implemented a fix which is planned to be part of 4.2.3-7 (February). To get rid of the false alarm in the meantime you could disable the Infiniband monitoring altogether. To disable Infiniband monitoring on a node: 1. Open the file /var/mmfs/mmsysmon/mmsysmonitor.conf 2. Locate the [network]section 3. Add below: ib_rdma_enable_monitoring=False 4. Save file and run "mmsysmoncontrol restart" If you have questions feel free to contact me directly by email.

The relevant lines in /usr/lpp/mmfs/lib/mmsysmon/NetworkService.py changed between -4 and -5. What seems to happen: I have Mellanox VPI cards with one port Infiniband and one port Ethernet. mmhealth complains about the Ethernet port. Hmm - I did specify the active Infiniband ports only in verbsPorts, I don't see why mmhealth cares about any other ports when it checks RDMA. So probably a bug, I'll open a PMR unless somebody points me to a different solution. I tried but I can't hide this event in mmhealth.
