Manually installing clustered watch folder

Use this information to manually install clustered watch folder on your system.

Important: Before you can install clustered watch folder, you must have the required packages for IBM Storage Scale installed on the node.
Ensure that the following software package is installed on every node in the cluster that acts as producer.
  • For Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®:
    • gpfs.librdkafka-5.2*.rpm
    Note: This package is available in /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.2.x.x/gpfs_rpms/rhelX.
  • For Ubuntu Linux:
    • gpfs.librdkafka-5.2*.deb
    Note: This package is available in /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.2.x.x/gpfs_debs/ubuntu.
  1. If you are installing the package for clustered watch folder on existing IBM Storage Scale nodes and this is not part of a cluster installation or upgrade, you must shut down and then restart the daemon in order for the producer to be able to load the required library.
  2. After the IBM Storage Scale cluster is available and the file systems are mounted, use the mmwatch command for each file system that you want to enable for clustered watch folder.
    Note: For more information about enabling clustered watch folder, see mmwatch command.
