Coexistence considerations
Each GPFS™ cluster can have multiple GPFS file systems that coexist on the cluster, but function independently of each other. In addition, each file system might have different data management programs.
Note: The GPFS Data Management
API (DMAPI) and GPFS file system
snapshots can coexist; however, access to the files in a snapshot
using DMAPI is restricted. For more information, see IBM
Spectrum Scale: Data
Management API Guide.
