Post installation and configuration problems

This topic describes the issues that you might encounter after installing or configuring IBM Storage Scale.

The IBM Storage Scale: Concepts, Planning, and Installation Guide provides the step-by-step procedure for installing and migrating IBM Storage Scale, however, some problems might occur after installation and configuration if the procedures were not properly followed.

Some of those problems might include:

Not being able to start GPFS after installation of the latest version. Did you reboot your IBM Storage Scale nodes before and after the installation/upgrade of IBM Storage Scale? If you did, see GPFS daemon does not come up. If not, reboot. For more information, see the Initialization of the GPFS daemon topic in the IBM Storage Scale: Concepts, Planning, and Installation Guide.
Not being able to access a file system. See File system fails to mount.
New GPFS functions do not operate. See GPFS commands are unsuccessful.
