You have been able to do this for some time, though I think it's only just supported.
We've been exporting remote mounts since CES was added. At some point we've had two storage clusters supplying data and at least 3 remote file-systems exported over NFS and SMB. One thing to watch, be careful if your CES root is on a remote fs, as if that goes away, so do all CES exports. We do have CES root on a remote fs and it works, just be aware...

May i know, if i will be able to export the 3 remote mounts(from 3 storage clusters) over NFS/SMB from a single CES protocol cluster? Because according to the limitations as mentioned in the below link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.0.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r00.doc/bl1adv_limitationofprotocolonRMT.htm It says “You can configure one storage cluster and up to five protocol clusters (current limit).” Regards, Lohit _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss
