[gpfsug-discuss] GUI needs GNR?

Is this a new install or an upgrade?

Usually, if the GUI “sees” a recovery group or the setting "nsdRAIDTracks" it determines that it is running on a GNR system and only then it will require the GNR package.

I don't have any real information about this, but I can say that there are things in that RPM that might be required by the GUI that don't actually provide GNR-related services. I installed that on something this past week for one of the other

Hum I get the following error message when attempting to connect to the GUI

Except I don't have any gpfs.gnr packages. The is with the 5.1.8.2 download, explicitly the file

Storage_Scale_Data_Access-5.1.8.2-x86_64-Linux-install

Downloaded from Lenovo. At no time was a gpfs.gnr-* a dependency of the GUI packages during install.

Has it somehow been added as a dependency in the GUI binary and not been properly thought through as to how it impacts various editions?

I didn't think GNR was needed to run the GUI. Having never bothered with the GUI till now am I doing something obviously wrong?
