<div dir="ltr">the limit you see above is NOT the max NSD limit for Scale/GPFS, its rather the limit of the NSD size you can add to this Filesystems pool.<div>depending on which version of code you are running, we limit the maximum size of a NSD that can be added to a pool so you don't have mixtures of lets say 1 TB and 100 TB disks in one pool as this will negatively affect performance. in older versions we where more restrictive than in newer versions.<div><br></div></div><div>Sven</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 11:16 AM Stef Coene <<a href="mailto:stef.coene@docum.org">stef.coene@docum.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
When formatting the NDS for a new file system, I noticed a warning about<br>
a maximum size:<br>
<br>
Formatting file system ...<br>
Disks up to size 8.8 TB can be added to storage pool system.<br>
Disks up to size 9.0 TB can be added to storage pool V5000.<br>
<br>
I searched the docs, but I couldn't find any reference regarding the<br>
maximum size of NSDs?<br>
