<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">I'm not familiar with GSS, but we have a script that executes the following<br>
before backing up a GPFS filesystem so that we have human-readable<br>
configuration information:<br>
<br>
mmlsconfig<br>
mmlsnsd<br>
mmlscluster<br>
mmlsnode<br>
mmlsdisk ${FS_NAME} -L<br>
mmlsfileset ${FS_NAME} -L<br>
mmlspool ${FS_NAME} all -L<br>
mmlslicense -L<br>
mmlspolicy ${FS_NAME} -L<br>
<br>
And then executes this for the benefit of GPFS:<br>
<br>
mmbackupconfig<br>
<br>
Of course there's quite a bit of overlap for clusters that have more than<br>
one filesystem, and even more for filesystems that we backup at the<br>
fileset level, but disk is cheap and the hope is it'll make a DR scenario<br>
a little bit less harrowing.<br>
