This error never happened previously.<br/><br/>Various 'mm*' commands were returning the "Unknown OS" error. Note that<br/>there was no OS named at the end of the error message, as if $osName<br/>was not defined in /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmglobfuncs.<br/><br/>The 'uname -s' command on these nodes does return "Linux" both locally<br/>and remotely via an ssh connection from a GPFS manager node.<br/><br/>Updating OS distribution packages & rebooting the nodes & rebuilding the<br/>kernel-specific gpfs.gplbin packge resolved the problem, so I'm not sure<br/>of the exact cause.<br/><br/>Mark<br/><br/>=> see the same, when the command is run locally on the node and through an<br/>=> ssh session. Since mmaddnode has to do some remote processing, make sure<br/>=> ssh works as expected, in particular in the locale setting area.<br/>=> <br/>=> yuri<br/>=> <br/>=> <br/>=> <br/>=> From: Damir Krstic <damir.krstic@gmail.com><br/>=> To: gpfsug-discuss@spectrumscale.org,<br/>=> Date: 01/12/2016 06:16 AM<br/>=> Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] weird issue when issuing mm commands<br/>=> Sent by: gpfsug-discuss-bounces@spectrumscale.org<br/>=> <br/>=> <br/>=> <br/>=> I have just deployed a GPU node in our HPC environment and I am having<br/>=> couple of weird issues when trying to add it to our GPFS cluster. mmaddnode<br/>=> command from NSD server returns with: unknown os<br/>=> <br/>=> mmgetstate on the node itself returns with unknown os<br/>=> <br/>=> I think I've traced it down to locale issue but reinstalling glibc-common<br/>=> and making sure that /etc/sysconfig/i18n files are in place and OK does not<br/>=> seem to fix the issue.
