Yeah... depending on the #nodes you 're affected or not. .....
So if your remote ces  cluster is small enough in terms of the #nodes ... you'll neuer hit into this issue

    We use multicluster for our environment, storage systems in a separate cluster to hpc nodes on a separate cluster from protocol nodes.According to the docs, this isn't supported, but we haven't seen any issues. Note unsupported as opposed to broken.Simon________________________________________From: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at spectrumscale.org [gpfsug-discuss-bounces at spectrumscale.org] on behalf of Jonathon A Anderson [jonathon.anderson at colorado.edu]Sent: 31 January 2017 17:47To: gpfsug main discussion listSubject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] CES doesn't assign addresses to nodesYeah, I searched around for places where ` tsctl shownodes up` appears in the GPFS code I have access to (i.e., the ksh and python stuff); but it’s only in CES.

Less obvious in the example, but true, is the fact that it’s only showing the first 120 hosts, when we have 403 nodes in our gpfs cluster.[root at sgate2 ~]# tsctl shownodes up | tr ',' '\n' | wc -l120[root at sgate2 ~]# mmlscluster | grep '\-opa' | wc -l403Perhaps more explicitly, it looks like `tsctl shownodes up` can only transmit 3983 characters.[root at sgate2 ~]# tsctl shownodes up | wc -c3983Again, I’m convinced this is a bug not only because the command doesn’t actually produce a list of all of the up nodes in our cluster; but because the last name listed is incomplete.[root at sgate2 ~]# tsctl shownodes up | tr ',' '\n' | tail -n 1shas0260-opa.rc.int.col[root at sgate2 ~]#I’d continue my investigation within tsctl itself but, alas, it’s a binary with no source code available to me. :)I’m trying to get this opened as a bug / PMR; but I’m still working through the DDN support infrastructure.
