I see it inoperative on my cluster environments (HACMP 5.4) - HA documentation says it is not an optional RSCT process used by HACMP - does it mean it should be active? Or maybe it should be active only in special cases?

What is the status of this subsystem on your clusters?

thx in advance,K.

$ clshowsrv -v

Hi,

I have the same situation/issue. Did you get an answer to this ?
We are also running HACMP 5.4 on AIX 5.3-05-06. We also installed the latest Fix PAX for HACMP (IY87247).

As a long time HACMP guy, I'm sort of embarrassed to say I didn't know the answer to this. So I researched it and found the following:

The grpglsm subsystem is only responsible for handling the various PSSP
switch adapters (css*), and the new federation adapters (sn*); it has
nothing to do with standard ethernet switches. I
believe at one time grpglsm would simply sit and do nothing on an HACMP
cluster without one of these adapters on it. Now it simply shutsdown
when not needed. This is normal, and nothing you need to worry about,
unless you are using one of those adapter types.

So I think that answers this questions.

Thanks for the reply. Just in time for me to get on with HACMP configuration and testing.
