Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Password to GUI forgotten

[Buterbaugh, Kevin L]

Hi GPFS team,

I did open a PMR and they (mainly Matthais) did help me get that issue 
resolved.  Thanks for following up!

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the suggestion … I find the following error very interesting:

/root
root@testnsd1# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/rmuser admin
EFSSP0010C CLI parser: The object "admin" specified for "userID" does not exist.
/root
root@testnsd1#

That says to me that I don’t have an admin user, which - if true - would 
explain why not a single password I can think of works.  ;-)

But as I mentioned in my original post I had this up and working earlier this 
fall.  While I can’t prove anything, I can’t imagine a scenario where I would 
deliberately choose a non-default username.  So if “admin” has been the default 
login for the GPFS GUI all along then I am really mystified.

Thanks!

Kevin

I ran into this a couple times using 4.2.3.  This is what we used to get around 
it:

/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/rmuser admin
/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/mkuser admin -p  -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin

You may need to run the initgui command if those objects are present.  That 
typically gets run on first login to the GUI.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you all … didn’t mean to leave this 
hanging, but some higher priority things came up.

Bottom line - I’m still stuck and probably going to open up a PMR with IBM 
after sending this.  Richards’ suggestion below errors for me on the “-g 
Administrator” part.  Other suggestions sent directly to me up to and including 
completely deleting the GPFS GUI and reinstalling have also not worked.

No matter what I do, I cannot log in to the GUI.  Thanks for the suggestions, 
though…

Kevin

That said, my workaround for the problem of forgetting the password was to 
create a new “admin2” user and use that to reset the password on admin itself.

[root@gpfs cli]# ./mkuser admin2 -p Passw0rd -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin
EFSSG0019I The user admin2 has been successfully created.
EFSSG1000I The command completed successfully.

This happened to me a while back, I opened a pmr to get it sorted but it's 
just a case of running some cli commands. I'll dig it out.

Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Meltdown, Spectre, and impacts on GPFS

[Richard Booth]

Dear Kevin

The company I work for might be able to help get back the performance lost
from the fixes for Meltdown and Spectre.

I work for Ellexus, an I/O profiling company. Our tools could help identify
any inefficient I/O patterns in your applications to reduce the impact of
this. We can set up demos and a free trial if you're interested in seeing
what we do and how we can help.

Kind regards
Richard

Happy New Year everyone,

I?m sure that everyone is aware of Meltdown and Spectre by now ? we, like
many other institutions, will be patching for it at the earliest possible
opportunity.

Our understanding is that the most serious of the negative performance
impacts of these patches will be for things like I/O (disk / network) ?
given that, we are curious if IBM has any plans for a GPFS update that
could help mitigate those impacts?  Or is there simply nothing that can be
done?

If there is a GPFS update planned for this we?d be interested in knowing so
that we could coordinate the kernel and GPFS upgrades on our cluster.

Thanks?

Kevin

P.S.  The ?Happy New Year? wasn?t intended as sarcasm ? I hope it is a good
year for everyone despite how it?s starting out.  :-O
