Verifying the GPFS installation

Verify that the installation procedure placed the required GPFS files on each node by running the lslpp command on each node:

lslpp -l gpfs\*

The system returns output similar to the following:

The output that is returned on your system can vary depending on the edition that you have installed (IBM Storage Scale Standard Edition or IBM Storage Scale Data Access Edition or IBM Storage Scale Advanced Edition or IBM Storage Scale Data Management Edition).

Note: The path returned by lslpp -l shows the location of the package control data used by installp. The listed path does not show GPFS file locations. To view GPFS file locations, use the -f flag.
