Yes, Henrik.
For information on which OS levels are supported at which Spectrum Scale
release levels, you should always consult our Spectrum Scale FAQ.
This info is in Section 2 or 3 of the FAQ.
Thanks,
Lyle

Thanks to all of you that on list and off list have replied. So it seems
like we need to upgrade to V5 to be able to run Win10 clients. I have
started the discussion with DDN. Not sure what’s included in maintenance
and what’s not.

Hi Cedric,
Welcome to the mailing list!
Looking at the Spectrum Scale FAQ:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#windows
Windows 10 support doesn't start until Spectrum Scale V5:
" Starting with V5.0.2, IBM Spectrum Scale additionally supports
Windows 10 (Pro and Enterprise editions) in both heterogeneous and
homogeneous clusters. At this time, Secure Boot must be disabled on
Windows 10 nodes for IBM Spectrum Scale to install and function."
Looks like you have GPFS 4.1.0.4.
If you want to upgrade to V5, please contact DDN support.
I am also not sure if the DDN windows installer supports Win10 yet.
(I work for DDN)
Best Regards,
Vic Cornell

Hi there
The welcome mail said that a brief introduction might be in
order. So let’s start with that, just jump over this paragraph
if that’s not of interest. So, Henrik is the name. I’m the CTO
at a Swedish film production company with our own internal post
production operation. At the heart of that we have a 1.8PB DDN
MediaScaler with GPFS in a mixed macOS and Windows environment.
The mac clients just use NFS but the Windows clients use the
native GPFS client. We have a couple of successful windows
deployments.
But… Now when we’re replacing one of those windows clients I’m
running into some seriously frustrating ball busting
shenanigans. Basically this client gets stuck on (from
mmfs.log.latest) "PM: mounting /dev/ddnnas0” . Nothing more
happens. Just stuck and it never mounts.
I have reinstalled it multiple times with full clean between,
removed cygwin and the root user account and everything. I have
verified that keyless ssh works between server and all nodes,
including this node. With my limited experience I don’t find
enough to go on in the logs nor windows event viewer. I’m
honestly totally stuck.
I’m using the same version on this clients as on the others.
DDN have their own installer which installs cygwin and the gpfs
packages. Have worked fine on other clients but not on this
sucker. =(
Versions involved:
Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB
IBM GPFS Express Edition 4.1.0.4
IBM GPFS Express Edition License and Prerequisites 4.1
IBM GPFS GSKit 8.0.0.32
Below is the log from the client. I don’ find much useful at
the server, point me to specific log file if you have a good
idea of where I can find errors of this.
Cheers and many thanks in advance for helping me out here. I’m
all ears.
