Configuring IBM Spectrum Scale GUI to use sudo wrapper

To use the IBM Spectrum Scale™ management GUI on a cluster where sudo wrappers are used, you need to make the following configuration changes:

  1. Change GPFS_ADMIN=root to the user name that you configured as the sudo user in the gpfsgui.properties file that is located at: /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/conf. For example, GPFS_ADMIN=gpfsadmin.
  2. Issue the systemctl restart gpfsgui command to restart the GUI.
Note: If sudo wrappers are enabled on the cluster but GUI is not configured for it, the system raises an event.
