Associating a file system with Start of changecloud servicesEnd of change nodes

After you designate the Start of changecloud servicesEnd of change nodes, you must associate an IBM Spectrum Scale™ file system with these nodes.

Before you begin, ensure that Start of changecloud serviceEnd of change nodes are designated. For more information, see Designating the cloud services nodes.

To associate a file system with the Start of changecloud serviceEnd of change nodes, issue a command according to this syntax:
mmcloudgateway filesystem create --cloud-nodeclass CloudNodeClass --filesystem FileSystem --container-prefix
 ContainerPrefix [--override-container-name] Start of change[--thumbnail-size ThumbnailSize]End of change
For example, to associate the file system, /dev/gpfs0, with the node class, TCTNodeClass1, Start of changeand with the thumbnail size 256,End of change issue this command:
mmcloudgateway filesystem create --cloud-nodeclass FirstCloud --filesystem /dev/gpfs0 --container-prefix \
multinode Start of change--thumbnail-size 256End of change
To list the file system associated with the TCTNodeClass1 class, issue this command:
mmcloudgateway filesystem list --cloud-nodeclass TCTNodeClass1
Start of changeYou need to perform this task only on any node that is designated as a cloud service node. Even though cloud services support multiple file systems, you should associate only one file system with a node class.End of change.
