This behavior is expected. A cluster wide lock is necessary because mmchfirmware itself will update the cluster as a whole during this process. So, there shouldn't be a need to run updates elsewhere at the same time.

For your request I think there is a RFE (not sure public or not) already created, but I don’t disagree would be nice improvement to lock at the single BB -- Ystävällisin terveisin/Regards/Saludos/Salutations/Salutacions Luis Bolinches Executive IT Specialist IBM Storage Scale development Phone: +358503112585 Ab IBM Finland Oy Toinen linja 7 00530 Helsinki Uusimaa - Finland Visitors entrance: Siltasaarenkatu 22 "If you always give you will always have" -- Anonymous https://www.credly.com/users/luis-bolinches/badges -----Original Message----- From: gpfsug-discuss <gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org<http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss_gpfsug.org>> On Behalf Of Hannappel, Juergen Sent: Tuesday, 27 June 2023 19.07 To: gpfsug main discussion list <gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss_gpfsug.org>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Why cluster-wide locks for firmware-updates and the like Moin, when e.g doing mmchfirmware there is a cluster-wide lock preventing me from running mmchfirmware on several building blocks at once, while I would assume that only within one building block a lock is needed. Why is that so? Can that be changed in a future release? Also some apparently cluster wide locks create false alarms when checking for the recovery group status on one building block is blocked by some actions on another one... -- Dr. Jürgen Hannappel DESY/IT Tel. : +49 40 8998-4616 _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at gpfsug.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss_gpfsug.org
