Issue with loading GUI

If there are problems in loading the GUI, you can reconfigure the GUI to see if that resolves the problem.

Follow these steps to reconfigure the GUI:

  1. Run the following command to force the GUI to launch the wizard after the next login:
    
    /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/debug enablewizard
    systemctl restart gpfsgui
  2. Run the following command to force the GUI to no longer display the wizard after login:
    
    /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/debug disablewizard
    systemctl restart gpfsgui
    
  3. If the problem persists, reinstall the GUI RPM that can be found on the EMS node using the following command:
    
    yum -Uvh /opt/ibm/gss/install/rhel7/<arch>/gui/gpfs.gui*
  4. If there is a possibility that the GUI database has become corrupt or has inconsistencies that are preventing the GUI from loading properly, take the following steps.
    CAUTION:
    This should be done as a last resort since the GUI configuration settings will be lost after you execute the following steps:
    1. Stop the GUI service.
      
      systemctl stop gpfsgui
      
    2. Drop the GUI schema from the postgres database.
      psql postgres postgres -c "DROP SCHEMA FSCC CASCADE"
    3. Start the GUI service.
      
      systemctl start gpfsgui
