[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS 4.2.3.4 question

[Bryan Banister]

Ok, I’m completely confused… You’re saying 4.2.3-4 *has* the fix for adding/deleting NSDs?

Aha, I’ve just realised what you actually said, having seen Simon’s response and twigged. The defect 1020461 matches what IBM has told me in my PMR about adding/deleting NSDs. I’m not sure why the description mentions networking though!

No worries, I’ve got it sorted and hopefully about to grab the 4.2.3-4 efix2.

Cheers for your help!

Hi Richard,

Well, I’m not sure, which is why it’s taken me a while to respond.  In the README that comes with the efix it lists:

Defect APAR    Description

1032655 None AFM: Fix Truncate filtering Write incorrectly
1020461 None FS can't be mounted after weird networking error

That 1st one is obviously not it and that 2nd one doesn’t reference mmadddisk / mmdeldisk.  Plus neither show an APAR number.

Sorry I can’t be of more help…

Thanks Kevin, that's good to know. Is there an apar I need to quote in my pmr?

Hi Richard,

Since I upgraded my cluster to GPFS 4.2.3.4 over the weekend IBM created an efix for it for the NSD deletion / creation fix.  I’m sure they’ll give it to you, too…  ;-)

So I can upgrade to 4.2.3-4 to get the mmrestripe fix, or 4.2.3-3 efix3 to get the NSD deletion and creation fix? Not great when on Monday I’m doing a load of all this. What’s the recommendation? Is there a one size fits all patch?

The only change missing is the change delivered  in 4.2.3 PTF3 efix3 which was provided on August 22.  The problem had to do with NSD deletion and creation.

Hi All,

Does anybody know if GPFS 4.2.3.4, which came out today, contains all the patches that are in GPFS 4.2.3.3 efix3?

If anybody does, and can respond, I’d greatly appreciate it.  Our cluster is in a very, very bad state right now and we may need to just take it down and bring it back up.  I was already planning on rolling out GPFS 4.2.3.3 efix 3 over the next few weeks anyway, so if I can just go to 4.2.3.4 that would be great…

Thanks!
