Setting up the home cluster

This topic lists the steps to set up the home cluster.

1. Create a home cluster. For more information, see Creating your GPFS cluster.
2. Create a file system on the created home cluster. For more information, see Managing file systems.
3. Create filesets on the home cluster. For more information, see Filesets.
4. Enable remote access to the created file system on the home cluster. For more information, see Accessing a remote GPFS file system.
5. To configure the exported path on the home cluster for AFM, run mmafmconfig enable /ibm/gpfs0/nfsexport on the home cluster.
6. If encryption is configured on a home site that is running on a file system, which AFM uses as a GPFS backend target (multi-cluster remote mount), of an IBM Storage Scale cluster, ensure that the cache cluster is also configured the same way as the home cluster. Because of this configuration, AFM can access the files on the target file system for the replication.
