[gpfsug-discuss] Why cluster-wide locks for firmware-updates and the like

[Hannappel, Juergen]

Moin,
when e.g doing mmchfirmware there is a cluster-wide lock preventing me from
running mmchfirmware on several building blocks at once,
while I would assume that only within one building block a lock is needed.
Why is that so? Can that be changed in a future release?

Also some apparently cluster wide locks create false alarms when
checking for the recovery group status on one building block is
blocked by some actions on another one...
