I’ve also voted and commented on the ticket, but I’ll say this here: If the amount of time I spent on this alone (and I like to think I’m pretty good with this sort of thing, and am somewhat of a systemd evangelist when the opportunity presents itself), this has caused a lot of people a lot of

Has anyone confirmed this? At one point, I mucked around with this somewhat endlessly to try to get something sane and systemd-based to work and ultimately surrendered and inserted a 30 second delay. I didn’t try the “check for the presence of a file” thing as I’m allergic to that sort of thing

We use callbacks successfully to ensure Linux auditd rules are only loaded after GPFS is mounted. It was easy to setup, and there's very fine-grained events that you can trigger on: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.0.4/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r04.doc/bl1adm_mmaddcallback.htm

Hi Venkat, The AFM fileset becomes totally unresponsive from all nodes within the cluster and the only way to resolve it is to do a "mmshutdown" and wait 2 mins, then "mmshutdown" again as it cannot really do it the first time.. and then a "mmstartup" then all is back to normal and AFM is

There’s an RFE related to this: RFE 125955 (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe_ID=125955) I recommend that people add their votes and comments there as well as discussing it here in the UG. Carl Zetie Program Director Offering Management Spectrum Scale (919)

Hi, What is lock down of AFM fileset ? Are the messages in requeued state and AFM won't replicate any data ? I would recommend opening a ticket by collecting the logs and internaldump from the gateway node when the replication is stuck. You can also try increasing the value of

[gpfsug-discuss] Tuning Spectrum Scale AFM for stability?

2020-04-28 Thread Andi Christiansen
Hi All, Can anyone share some thoughts on how to tune AFM for stability? at the moment we have ok performance between our sites (5-8Gbits with 34ms latency) but we encounter a lock down of the cache fileset from week to week, which was day to day before we tuned below settings.. is there any
