Running the ConnectToExternalGPFSServer script package

Run the script package to connect the IBM Storage Scale Client to the external IBM Storage Scale Server.

1. Click Patterns > Virtual System Instances.
2. Select the virtual system instance from the list of available virtual system instances.
3. In the details of the selected instance, expand the Virtual machine perspective section.
4. Expand the node of the virtual machine on which you want to run the script package.
5. In the Script Packages section, select Execute now for the ConnectToExternalGPFSServer script package.
   A dialog is displayed prompting you for the parameters for the script package and root credentials for the virtual machine:

   SERVER_CLUSTER_NAME = <server cluster name>, such as Primary_Cluster.purescale.raleigh.ibm.com
   NODE_LIST = <node1_ipaddr,node2_ipaddr, ...>
   FILE_SYSTEM = <file system name that the client mounts>
   FILE_SET = <the fileset to be used by the client>
   LINK_DIR = <the link directory to create on the client>
   User name = root
   Password = <root password>

   where:

   • To find the SERVER_CLUSTER_NAME value, on any of the server nodes, run the following command:

     /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlscluster

   • The FILE_SYSTEM and the FILE_SET values must be the same as the ones used in Exchanging key information.
6. Wait for the script package to complete.
   A green square with a check mark indicates success. The result is written to the remote_std_out.log file, similar to the following example:

   cluster name: Primary_Cluster.purescale.raleigh.ibm.com
   node list: 172.17.69.91
   file system: fileSystemName
   mountpoint: /gpfs/fileSystemName
   fileset: testExtFSet1b
   link directory: /testExtFSet1bLink
   /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmremotecluster add Primary_Cluster.purescale.raleigh.ibm.com -n 172.17.69.91 -k /var/mmfs/ssl/Primary_Cluster.purescale.raleigh.ibm.com_id_rsa.pub
