Jenny,

Please open a customer case for this one, as you may need help cleaning up some ‘sql’ statements in the mmsdrfs file. It appears to me that gpfs.gss.pmsensors-5.1.5-1.el8.ppc64le should not be installed if the node is not an ESS server.

Regards,

  Felipe

We are trying to manually upgrade Spectrum Scale from 5.1.2.1 to 5.1.5.1
The mmbuildgpl  completes successfully however when we run mmchconfig to bring the software up to the latest we get complaints about Elastic Storage Server and a package that is required for ESS.  Our box has no installation of ESS. Is there a way to bypass or has anyone else encountered a situation like this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. We have combed google, look through logs, but there is not much information.
