Changing a file system mount point on protocol nodes

If required, you can change a file system mount point on IBM Spectrum Scale™ protocol nodes.

To change a file system mount point on protocol nodes, perform the following steps:

  1. Unmount the file system:
    mmumount fs0 -a
  2. Change the mount point:
    mmchfs fs0 -T /ibm/new_fs0
  3. Change the path of all NFS and SMB exports.
    Note: The mmnfs export change and the mmsmb export change commands do not allow path names to be edited. Therefore, the export needs to be removed and re-added.
  4. Change the object CCR files:
    • account-server.conf
    • container-server.conf
    • object-server-.conf
    • object-server-sof.conf
    • spectrum-scale-object.comf
    • spectrum-scale-objectizer.conf

      The parameter that you need to change varies depending on the configuration file.

      1. Use the mmobj config change command to list the parameters for the file. For example, to list the parameters for the object-server.conf file, enter:
        mobj config list --ccrfile object-server.conf --section DEFAULT --property devices
      2. Use the mmobj config change --ccrfile file name to change the parameter. For example, to change the object-server.conf file, enter:
        mmobj config change --ccrfile object-server.conf --section DEFAULT --property devices
         /newFS/name
