  • 1.  GPFS won't start - complaining about missing SSL library

    We have a GPFS cluster that refuses to start. Both nodes are complaining that the SSL library is missing. From mmfslog:

    Wed Dec 3 10:46:55.795 2008: GPFS: 6027-1544 Sum of prefetchthreads(505) and worker1threads(49) exceeds 550. Reducing them to 501 and 49.
    Wed Dec 3 10:47:14.817 2008: Failed to open OpenSSL library: (dlerror) 0509-022 Cannot load module libssl.so.0.
    0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
    Wed Dec 3 10:47:14.820 2008: Failed to load and initialized OpenSSL library: err 721
    Wed Dec 3 10:47:14.821 2008: GPFS: 6027-788 Failed to load or initialize security library.
    Wed Dec 3 10:47:14.823 2008: GPFS: 6027-311 mmfsd64 is shutting down.

    We are not really sure when this happened - this may have been the result of a SSH upgrade.

    We have several other GPFS clusters. This is the only one that is complaining about the missing library.

    We have looked at the other servers. None of them have the library it seems to be looking for (libssl.so.0 or libssl.a).

    We have re-installed GPFS on the two nodes. They are still complaining about the missing library.

    We tried copying over libssl.a from SSL 0.9.8, extract the libssl.so.0.9.8, rename it to libssl.so.0, then recreate the archive. Now the node complains about a bad magic number.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Yes, you need to set the path to the OpenSSL library for GPFS via the "mmchconfig" command as listed in the GPFS FAQ item number 6.7:

    Did that - same problem.

    We also tried setting openssllibname to DEFAULT. It's still trying to load /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.0)

    We also tried re-installing OpenSSL. Now GPFS complains about "invalid magic number" after we do the mmchconfig and mmstartup.

    I had similar problem:
    Failed to open OpenSSL library: (dlerror) libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    The issue started when I wanted to try "mounting a file system owned and served by another GPFS cluster", so cipherList AUTHONLY was set (can be seen in the output of mmlsconfig).

    After deleting it (mmchconfig cipherList=""), cluster and filesystem works again!

    Hallo,
    I had the same error msg,
    following approach helped
    sles11node2:/usr/lib64 # ls -l | grep ssl
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 238424 2010-04-06 12:47 libssl3.so
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 342880 2010-05-05 16:15 libssl.so.0.9.8
    sles11node2:/usr/lib64 # ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.4
    please note, if you are running 32 Bit.. the the DIR is /usr/lib
