Start the GUI service on the remote nodes

You can start the GUI service on the remote nodes by using this DMP.

The following are the details of the corresponding event:
  • Event ID: gui_down
  • Problem: A GUI service is supposed to be running but it is down.
  • Solution: Start the GUI service.
  • Limitation: This DMP can only be used if GUI service is down on the remote nodes.

Only users with ProtocolAdministrator, SystemAdministrator, SecurityAdministrator, and Administrator roles can use this DMP to mount the file systems on the required nodes.

The DMP issues the systemctl restart gpfsgui command to start the GUI service on the remote node.

After running the mmmount command, the DMP waits until the gui_down event disappears from the event list. If the gui_down event does not get removed from the event list after 120 seconds, a warning message is displayed.
