Repair a failed GUI refresh task

The refresh tasks help to display the latest information on the GUI. This directed maintenance procedure (DMP) assists the users to repair any failed GUI refresh tasks.

The following are the corresponding event details and the proposed solution:
  • Event ID: gui_refresh_task_failed
  • Problem: One or more GUI refresh tasks have failed to complete the process.
  • Solution: Show the last execution error to the user. If this does not indicate the problem, user can run the task with the debug option to see more details.
  • Limitations: This DMP works only if the tasks are failed on local GUI. User must switch to remote GUI node if tasks are failed on remote GUI.

You can invoke this DMP from the Monitoring > Events page. If there are multiple failed refresh tasks, you need to address the issues one by one in the DMP wizard.

The system issues the following command to debug the issue: 
/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/runtask <taskname> --debug
Note: Only the users with Storage Administrator, System Administrator, Security Administrator, and Administrator user roles can launch this DMP.

For example: /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmchfileset r1_FS testFileset --inode-limit 2048
