Hi, In terms of the NSDs, you need to run the nsd devices script if they're not in /dev/dmX-, here's the link to the knowledge center: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r2.ins.doc/bl1ins_nsdpro.htm?lang=en
The installer should work as normal after this script has been run. We were hoping to get this solved in the upcoming version of the installer, so the user doesn't have to manually run the script. But the previous install team has been put on a new project in IBM, and I can't really comment any longer on when this could be expected to be delivered by the new team put in place. Hope the link gets you further off the ground though.

But it wasn't without some niggles. We have purchased DELL MD3860i disk trays with dual controllers (each with 2x 10Gbit NICs), to Linux this appears as 4 paths, I spent quite a while getting a nice multipath setup in place with 'friendly' names set /dev/mapper/ssd1_1 /dev/mapper/t1d1_1 /dev/mapper/t2d1_1 etc, to represent the different tiers/disks/luns. We used the install toolkit and added all the NSDs with the friendly names and it all checked out and verified........ UNTIL we tried to install/deploy! At which point it said, no valid devices in /proc/partitions (I need to use the unfriendly /dev/dm-X name instead) - did I miss something in the toolkit, or is something that needs to be resolved, surely it should have told me when I added the first of the 36 NSDs rather that at the install stage when I then need to correct 36 errors. Secondly, I have installed the GUI, it is constantly complaining of a 'Critical' event MS0297 - Connection failed to node. Wrong Credentials. But all nodes can connect to each other via SSH without passwords. Anyone know how to clear and fix this error; I cannot find anything in the docs!
