Hi
I'm working in a POC for GPFS (Spectrum Scale) AIX nodes. Our current design is:
Two nodes in a main location with SAN Connected disk
On node in a remote location
All of them in the same cluster.
I have set the NSD in the main location as 4 SAN connected devices and now i want to make those NSD available to the remote node. I'm trying to understand; this is not a remote file system mounting cause all those nodes are in the same cluster, so i have to create NSD devices in the remote node. My question: those NSD devices in the remote node, are not directly attached so i have to create an input file for the mmcrnsd command, something like this:
%nsd:
nsd=REMOTEDSK1 # my name for this NSD
device=/dev/hdisk4 # device name on node k145n05
usage=dataOnly
# List of server nodes for this disk
servers=kamikaze1,kamikaze2
failureGroup=2
pool=RemotePoolA
[root@ /borrar/gpfs ]mmcrnsd -F NSD.input
mmcrnsd: Processing disk hdisk4
mmcrnsd: 6027-1662 Disk device hdisk4 refers to an existing NSD nsd1
mmcrnsd: 6027-1930 Disk nsd1 belongs to file system FS01.
Yes hdisk4 belongs to a NSD in the nodes kamikaze1 and kamikaze2
How to create that NSD device that links all those disks in the remote node ???
TIA
