<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Simon,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=1 face="Arial">1. Most of the chef recipes involve installing
the various packages required for the protocols, and some of the new performance
monitoring packages required for mmperfquery. There is a series of steps
for proper manual install at </font><a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.1.1/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r11.adv.doc/bl1adv_ces_features.htm"><font size=1 face="Arial">http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.1.1/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r11.adv.doc/bl1adv_ces_features.htm</font></a><font size=1 face="Arial">
but this assumes you have all IBM Samba RPMs and prerequisites installed.
The recipes *should* be split out so that at the very least, RPM install
is done in its own recipe without configuring or enabling anything...</font>
<br><font size=1 face="Arial">2. I am not 100% sure what deploying IBM
Samba on the cluster will do with regards to sernet samba. As far as I
am aware there is no code in the installer or chef recipes to check for
other samba deployments running but I may be mistaken. Depending on how
sernet samba hooks to GPFS I can't think of any reason why it would cause
problems aside from the risk of the protocols not communicating and causing
issues with file locks/data overwrites, depending on what workload you
have running on samba.</font>
<br><font size=1 face="Arial">3. I haven't personally seen multicluster
deployments done or tested before, but no, it is not officially supported.
The installer has been written with the assumption that you are installing
to one cluster, so I wouldn't recommend trying with multiple clusters -
unforseen consequences :)<br>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hi,<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anyone has looked at the new protocol support stuff in
4.1.1 yet?<br>
<br>
>From what I can see, it wants to use the installer to add things like IBM
Samba onto nodes in the cluster. The docs online seem to list manual installation
as running the chef template, which is hardly manual...<br>
<br>
1. Id like to know what is being run on my cluster<br>
2. Its an existing install which was using sernet samba, so I don't want
to go out and break anything inadvertently<br>
3. My protocol nodes are in a multicluster, and I understand the installer
doesn't support multicluster.<br>
<br>
(the docs state that multicluster isn't supported but something like its
expected to work).<br>
<br>
So... Has anyone had a go at this yet and have a set of steps?<br>
<br>
I've started unpicking the chef recipe, but just wondering if anyone had
already had a go at this?<br>
<br>
(and lets not start on the mildy bemusing error when you "enable"
the service with "mmces service enable" (ces service not enabled)
- there's other stuff to enable it)...<br>
<br>
Simon<br>
