[gpfsug-discuss] Disabling individual Storage Pools by themselves? How about GPFS Native Raid?

[Sven Oehme]

Reporting is not the issue, one of the main issue is that we can't talk to the enclosure, which results in loosing the capability to replace disk drive or turn any fault indicators on.
It also prevents us to 'read' the position of a drive within a tray or fault domain within a enclosure, without that information we can't properly determine where we need to place strips of a track to prevent data access loss in case a enclosure or component fails.

  I think it's technically possible to run GNR on unsupported trays. You may have to do some fiddling with some of the scripts, and/or you wont get proper reporting. Of course it probably violates 100 licenses etc etc etc. I don't know of anyone who's done it yet. I'd like to do it.. I think it would be great to learn it deeper by doing this.
