Steve,

So in essence, if the minReleaseLevel is set to 5.0.x.x for a Spectrum Scale 
5.0 cluster, we can't add any new severs with Spectrum Scale 4.x.x RPMs 
installed without upgrading them to Spectrum Scale 5.x.x RPMs  to the cluster. 
Is this a correct statement? 
Does mmiportfs also  check the filesystem version which it is importing and 
prevent it from importing if it is created on Spectrum Scale 4.x.x?

    Prasad,

    One of the clients I work with have several 5.0.X ESS (owning) clusters and
    they share 4.2.3.9 file systems to remote client clusters.

    The minimum release level on the 5.0.X clusters are at the version of the
    cluster, i.e. 5.0.3 or 5.0.4 (we are in the process of getting all to
    latest).

    The key is that the clients are not part of this cluster as a node has to
    be > minReleaseLevel to be able to join.

    They are in their own (accessing) cluster which has a minReleaseLevel of
    4.2.3-9. This is the current (until September withdrawal) minReleaseLevel
    that is supported in this scenario.

    Don't know specifically about import but it should work as long as the
    clients that need to mount the sub-5.0 filesystem can be in a separate
    (remote) cluster or the client nodes are upgraded to the minReleaseLevel of
    the local cluster.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Jim,
    The minimum release for 5.0.4 cluster is 5.0.4.3.

    We are aware that we can't merge both gpfs_4 and gpfs_5 filesystems. Our
    plan is to import the gpfs_4 filesystem into the Spectrum Scale 5.0 cluster
    (with its NSDs mapped to Spectrum Scale 5.0 clusters nodes) and copy the
    data using rsync, across  fibre channel instead of ethernet to get higher
    bandwidth.

        On a non-technical note, I wanted to remind everybody that if you?re
    doing a migration and you need to temporarily run both systems, IBM
    licensing allows you to do that without ceremony or formality, for up to 90
    days under a thing called the ?Temporary Additional Use Policy?. You don?t
    need to register, ask beforehand, etc. Just go ahead.

        If you need the additional usage for more than 90 days, contact your
    seller and we?ll figure something out.

        Regards
