Hello,
can someone guide me how to create a GPFS filesystem, I've read a couple of redbooks however certain things are still not certain, like if you require to download files or licenses...
any help would be appreciated!
you can create a GPFS filesystem using the mmcrfs command. here's what the manual says:
Use the mmcrfs command to create a GPFS file system. The first two parameters must be Device and either DiskDescList or DescFile and
they must be in that order. The block size and replication factors chosen affect file system performance. A maximum of 256 file sys-
tems can be mounted in a GPFS cluster at one time, including remote file systems.
When deciding on the maximum number of files (number of inodes) in a file system, consider that for file systems that will be doing
parallel file creates, if the total number of free inodes is not greater than 5% of the total number of inodes, there is the potential
for slowdown in file system access. The total number of inodes can be increased using the mmchfs command.
