Requirements for using clustered watch folder with remotely mounted file systems

These requirements must be followed to use clustered watch folder with remotely mounted file systems.

All clusters that own or access file systems that are using clustered watch folder through remote mounts must meet the following requirements:
  • All clusters must be at IBM Storage Scale 5.0.3 or later.
  • For any cluster that is upgraded to IBM Storage Scale 5.0.3 or later, the mmchconfig release=LATEST command must be run.
  • Any file system that is watched must be at IBM Storage Scale 5.0.3 or later. If upgraded, the mmchfs -V full command must be run after the cluster is installed at or upgraded to IBM Storage Scale 5.0.3 or later.
  • The mmwatch command can be run on the cluster that owns the file system that is using clustered watch folder only.
  • Clusters that are remotely mounting file systems that are using clustered watch folder must be upgraded before the owning cluster.
