When you "web portal" it's not clear if you refer to fix central or

should be able to download 5.0.5.1 (at least I can see that there).
Provided your DSS-G is under entitlement, my understanding is that
you are entitled to download the client bundle supplied by Lenovo.
I was indeed referring to the commercial.lenovo.com site.
So yes there seems to be separate client binaries for download, however
the DSS-G bundle's for the servers also includes the client binaries too.
It is however as clear as a thick gloppy mud what you are entitled to use.
The backup node is a genuine RHEL7 machine, so it was trivial to pin it
to 7.7 and upgrade using the 5.0.4-3 RPM's that came in the 2.6b bundle.
This has at least got me out the hole of mmbackup no longer working and
having to resort to a "dsmc incr"
However I reached an executive decision over the weekend of "sod it" I
am upgrading to the full 7.8 latest with 5.0.5.1 GPFS client today.
