Hi Lohit,
>I am thinking of using a single CES protocol cluster, with remote mounts
from 3 storage clusters.
Technically this should work fine (assuming all 3 clusters use the same
uids/guids). However this has not been tested in our Test lab.
>One thing to watch, be careful if your CES root is on a remote fs, as if
that goes away, so do all CES exports.
Not only the ces root file system is a concern, the whole CES cluster will
go down if any remote file systems with NFS exports is not available.
e.g. if remote cluster 1 is not available, the CES cluster will unmount
the corresponding file system which will lead to a NFS failure on all CES
nodes.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Thanks Simon.
I will make sure i am careful about the CES root and test nfs exporting
more than 2 remote file systems.

You have been able to do this for some time, though I think it's only just
supported.
We've been exporting remote mounts since CES was added.
At some point we've had two storage clusters supplying data and at least 3
remote file-systems exported over NFS and SMB.
One thing to watch, be careful if your CES root is on a remote fs, as if
that goes away, so do all CES exports. We do have CES root on a remote fs
and it works, just be aware...

Hello All,
I read from the below link, that it is now possible to export remote
mounts over NFS/SMB.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_5.0.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r00.doc/bl1adv_protocoloverremoteclu.htm
I am thinking of using a single CES protocol cluster, with remote mounts
from 3 storage clusters.
May i know, if i will be able to export the 3 remote mounts(from 3 storage
clusters) over NFS/SMB from a single CES protocol cluster?
Because according to the limitations as mentioned in the below link:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.0.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r00.doc/bl1adv_limitationofprotocolonRMT.htm
It says ?You can configure one storage cluster and up to five protocol
clusters (current limit).?
Regards,
Lohit
