Other problems with disaster recovery

You might encounter the following issues that are related to disaster recovery in IBM Storage Scale:

1. Currently, users are advised to always specify the all option when you issue the mmfsctl syncFSconfig command, rather than the device name of one specific file system. Issuing this command enables GPFS to detect and correctly resolve the configuration discrepancies that might occur as a result of the manual administrative action in the target GPFS cluster to which the configuration is imported.
2. The optional SpecFile parameter to the mmfsctl syncFSconfigthat is specified with the -S flag must be a fully qualified path name that defines the location of the spec data file on nodes in the target cluster. It is not the local path name to the file on the node from which the mmfsctl command is issued. A copy of this file must be available at the provided path name on all peer contact nodes that are defined in the RemoteNodesFile.
