<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">I don't believe GPFS was designed with the idea of splitting clusters over multiple sites. </span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">If your inter-site network runs fast enough, and you can administer it well enough -- perhaps it will work well enough...</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">Hint: Think about the what the words "cluster" and "site" mean.<br>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif","serif"">GPFS does have the AFM feature, which was designed for multi-site deployments.</span><br>
