[gpfsug-discuss] Backup All Cluster GSS GPFS Storage Server

[Sobey, Richard A]

To answer my own question:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKCN_3.5.0/com.ibm.cluster.gpfs.v3r5.gpfs100.doc/bl1adm_uxtsdrb.htm

It’s built in.

Hi Scott

This looks like what I’m after (thank you Skylar and all others who responded too!)

For the uninitiated, what exactly is a User Exit in the context of the following line:

“One way to automate this collection of GPFS configuration data is to use a User Exit. “

Or to put it another way, what is calling the script to be run on the basis of running mmchconfig someparam=someval? I’d like to understand it more.

Thanks
Richard

There are some comments on this in the wiki:

Backup Spectrum Scale configuration<https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/General%20Parallel%20File%20System%20(GPFS)/page/Back%20Up%20GPFS%20Configuration>

Let me know if anything is missing.

I'm not familiar with GSS, but we have a script that executes the following
before backing up a GPFS filesystem so that we have human-readable
configuration information:

mmlsconfig
mmlsnsd
mmlscluster
mmlsnode
mmlsdisk ${FS_NAME} -L
mmlsfileset ${FS_NAME} -L
mmlspool ${FS_NAME} all -L
mmlslicense -L
mmlspolicy ${FS_NAME} -L

And then executes this for the benefit of GPFS:

mmbackupconfig

Of course there's quite a bit of overlap for clusters that have more than
one filesystem, and even more for filesystems that we backup at the
fileset level, but disk is cheap and the hope is it'll make a DR scenario
a little bit less harrowing.
