[gpfsug-discuss] GUI needs GNR?

[Kidger, Daniel]

I have met this too.

If the filesystem uses GNR (in my case ECE), then the GUI node needs this RPM too.
Remember this isn’t though a simple RPM dependency, because if the filesystem is plain NSDs, then you won’t need gpfs.gnr RPM
In my case I just grabbed this RPM from one of my storage nodes.

Hum I get the following error message when attempting to connect to the GUI

Initializing the graphical user interface. This can take several minutes.
Please wait ...
com.ibm.fscc.cli.CommandException: EFSSG1900I The required GPFS GNR package (gpfs.gnr-*) is not installed on the GUI node. Please install it and initialize the GUI again. EFSSG1900I The required GPFS GNR package
(gpfs.gnr-*) is not installed on the GUI node. Please install it and initialize the GUI again.

Except I don't have any gpfs.gnr packages. The is with the 5.1.8.2 download, explicitly the file

  Storage_Scale_Data_Access-5.1.8.2-x86_64-Linux-install

Downloaded from Lenovo. At no time was a gpfs.gnr-* a dependency of the GUI packages during install.

Has it somehow been added as a dependency in the GUI binary and not been properly thought through as to how it impacts various editions?

I didn't think GNR was needed to run the GUI. Having never bothered with the GUI till now am I doing something obviously wrong?


Note that systemctl seems to say everything is fine
