<div>I’ve never used ESS, but I state for a fact you can cross mount clusters at various levels without a problem – I do it all the time during upgrades. I’m not aware of any co-exisitance problems with the 3.5 and above. Yo may be limited on 4.2 features when
accessing it via the 3.5 cluster, but data access should work fine.</div>

<div dir="ltr">We are deploying ESS with Spectrum Scale 4.2. Our compute cluster is running GPFS 3.5. We will remote cluster mount ESS to our compute cluster. When looking at GPFS coexistance documents, it is not clear whether GPFS 3.5 cluster can remote mount
GPFS 4.2. Does anyone know if there are any issues in remote mounting GPFS 4.2 cluster on 3.5 cluster?
