b. Display the state of the nodeclass associated with the IBM Storage Scale System 3500.
# mmgetstate -N <node class name>
c. If canister 2 (bottom) is currently designated as a quorum node, move the quorum to a different
node.
i) To determine which nodes are quorum nodes, issue the following command:
# mmlscluster
Example:
[root@ems9 ~]# mmlscluster
GPFS cluster information

ii) To evaluate quorum status, issue the following command:
# mmgetstate -s
Example:
[root@ems9 ~]# mmgetstate -s
Node number Node name GPFS state

Number of nodes defined in the cluster: 3
Number of local nodes active in the cluster: 3
Number of remote nodes joined in this cluster: 4
Number of quorum nodes defined in the cluster: 3

iii) If necessary, to designate a different node to be a quorum node, issue the following command:
# mmchnode –quorum -N <node name>
Example:
[root@ems9 ~]# mmchnode --quorum -N ess6000rw6b-hs.test.net
Mon Sep 26 15:07:24 MST 2022: mmchnode: Processing node ess6000rw6b-hs.test.net
mmchnode: Propagating the cluster configuration data to all affected nodes.
[root@ems9 ~]#
iv) If necessary, to remove a quorum node from canister B/1, issue the following command:
# mmchnode –noquorum -N ess60005b
Example:
[root@ems9 ~]# mmchnode --noquorum -N ess6000rw6b-hs.test.net
Mon Sep 26 14:57:01 MST 2022: mmchnode: Processing node ess6000rw6b-hs.test.net
mmchnode: Propagating the cluster configuration data to all affected nodes.
mmchnode: Propagating the cluster configuration data to all
affected nodes. This is an asynchronous process.
