Frederick,

Yes on both counts! -  mmdf is showing pretty uniform (ie 5 NSDs out of 30 
report 65% free; All others are uniform at 58% free)...

NSD servers per disks are called in round-robin fashion as well, for example:


 gpfs1         tier2_001    nsd02-ib,nsd03-ib,nsd04-ib,tsm01-ib,nsd01-ib

 gpfs1         tier2_002    nsd03-ib,nsd04-ib,tsm01-ib,nsd01-ib,nsd02-ib

 gpfs1         tier2_003    nsd04-ib,tsm01-ib,nsd01-ib,nsd02-ib,nsd03-ib

 gpfs1         tier2_004    tsm01-ib,nsd01-ib,nsd02-ib,nsd03-ib,nsd04-ib

Any other potential culprits to investigate?

I do notice nsd03/nsd04 have long waiters, but nsd01 doesn't (nsd02-ib is 
offline for now):

[nsd03-ib ~]# mmdiag --waiters

Hi All.,



I happy that we can finally announce SSUG:Digital, which will be a series of 
online session based on the types of topic we present at our in-person events.



I know it?s taken use a while to get this up and running, but we?ve been 
working on trying to get the format right. So save the date for the first 
SSUG:Digital event which will take place on Thursday 18th June 2020 at 4pm BST. 
That?s:
San Francisco, USA at 08:00 PDT
New York, USA at 11:00 EDT
London, United Kingdom at 16:00 BST
Frankfurt, Germany at 17:00 CEST
Pune, India at 20:30 IST
We estimate about 90 minutes for the first session, and please forgive any 
teething troubles as we get this going!



(I know the times don?t work for everyone in the global community!)



Each of the sessions we run over the next few months will be a different 
Spectrum Scale Experts or Deep Dive session.

More details at:

https://www.spectrumscaleug.org/introducing-ssugdigital/



(We?ll announce the speakers and topic of the first session in the next few 
days ?)



Thanks to Ulf, Kristy, Bill, Bob and Ted for their help and guidance in getting 
this going.



We?re keen to include some user talks and site updates later in the series, so 
please let me know if you might be interested in presenting in this format.

Hello,

Anyone faced a situation where a majority of NSDs have a high load average and 
a minority don't?

Also, is 10x NSD server latency for write operations than for read operations 
expected in any circumstance?

We are seeing client latency between 6 and 9 seconds and are wondering if some 
GPFS configuration or NSD server condition may be triggering this poor 
performance.



Thanks,
