Chad,
Thankyou for the reply.
Indded I had that issue - I only noticed because I looked at the utisation of 
the NSDs and a set of them were not being filled with data...
A set which were coincidentally all connected to the same server  (me whistles 
innocently)

Hey John,

 Once you get /var/mmfs/etc/nsddevices set up, it is all straight forward.  
We have seen times on reboot where the devices were not ready before gpfs 
started and the file system started with those disks in an offline state.  But, 
that was just a timing issue with the startup.

[gpfsug-discuss] Spectrum Scale with NVMe

2017-11-06 Thread John Hearns
I am looking for anyone with experience of using Spectrum Scale with nvme 
devices.

I could use an offline brain dump...


The specific issue I have is with the nsd device discovery and the naming.

Before anyone replies, I am gettign excellent support from IBM and have been 
directed to the correct documentation.

I am just looking for any wrinkles or tips that anyone has.


Thanks
