Reconfiguring a General Parallel File System (GPFS™) node can change the host name or the GPFS node number. Removing or reconfiguring
a node properly does not jeopardize failover and recall.
To remove or reconfigure a space-managing node in a GPFS cluster, follow these steps:
- Transfer the space-managed file systems to another node
with the dsmmigfs takeover command.
- Uninstall the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client from the node
which is removed or reconfigured.
- Remove or reconfigure the GPFS node.
If
you want the node to participate in space management again, do the
following steps:
- Reinstall the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client on the node.
- Use the dsmmigfs takeover command to regain
control of the file systems.
