look at further.<br><br>I'm still struggling a bit with mmapplypolicy and it's -N option.<br>I've changed my external list command to point at a script, that script
looks for "LIST" as the first argument, and runs "/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmapplypolicy
/gpfs1/aws -d 1 -N cloudNode -P /gpfs1/s3upload/policies/migration.policy
>>/gpfs1/s3upload/external-list.log 2>&1".<br><br>If the script is run from the command line on a node that's not in cloudNode
class it works without issue and uses nodes in the cloudNode class as helpers,
but if the script is called from the active policy, mmapplypolicy runs,
but seems to ignore the -N and doesn't use the cloudNode nodes as helpers
and instead seems to run locally (from which ever node started the active
policy).<br><br>So now my questions is: why does the -N option appear to be honoured when
run from the command line, but not appear to be honoured when triggered
by the active policy?<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Peter Chase<br>GPCS Team<br>Met Office FitzRoy Road Exeter Devon EX1 3PB
