Checking the GPFS file system mount on each file module

Use this information to identify and resolve problems with General Parallel File
System (GPFS) file system mounts on IBM Storwize V7000 Unified file modules.
About this task
A GPFS file system that is not mounted on an Storwize V7000 Unified file module
can cause the clustered trivial database (CTDB) status to be 'UNHEALTHY'." The
GPFS file system must be mounted on both file modules in the Storwize V7000
Unified product to support dual redundancy and to allow file input/output
through all public IP addresses.
Note: You cannot change the cluster and file system configuration, when one of
the nodes hosting the GPFS primary or secondary configuration server is not
present in the cluster. You can identify the nodes hosting the primary or secondary
configuration server in the output of the lscluster CLI command. This also
applies to disk management operations such as creating or deleting a file system,
adding or removing a disk using the CLI commands such as mkfs, rmfs, chfs, and
rpldisk. It also includes the changes to the cluster configuration such as addnode
and delnode. These CLI commands report an error and fail the operations when
this condition is detected in the cluster.
Use the following procedure to get a file system that is not mounted on a file
module to be mounted. Contact IBM Remote Technical Support if this procedure
does not work.

Identifying created and mounted file system mounts

You can identify and resolve problems in GPFS file system mounts on the Storwize
V7000 Unified system and file modules.
v Perform a reboot of the unhealthy file module. Refer to "Resuming services
on a suspended file module" in the IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Information
Center.
v If none of the above actions resolves the problem, contact IBM Remote
Technical Support.
