6027-3960 [N] Changing the size of the static pagepool is not supported when RDMA is in use. Consider using the dynamic pagepool feature instead.

Explanation

The static pagepool registers a large region with the RDMA stack. While GPFS IBM Storage Scale is running, this region cannot be unregistered, effectively leaking RDMA regions for changes of the pagepool size while GPFS IBM Storage Scale is running. This is handled better by the dynamic pagepool feature, that uses smaller RDMA regions where unused regions can be unregistered when changing the pagepool size.

User response

Consider enabling the dynamic pagepool through the dynamicPagepoolEnabled config option, if the pagepool size should change while GPFS is running. To change the size of the static pagepool, restart GPFS to properly update the RDMA registrations.
