Deploying Cluster Export Services packages on existing IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1 and later nodes

Use the following instructions to copy packages on your protocol nodes and to deploy these packages.

  1. Copy the required packages to the protocol node from the location where the self-extracting package was extracted.

    By default, installation images are extracted to the target directory /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.2.0.

  2. Install packages by issuing the following command: rpm -ivh Package_Name1 Package_Name2 ... Package_NameN

    For a list of packages for the current IBM Spectrum Scale™ release, see Manually installing the IBM Spectrum Scale software packages on Linux nodes.

  3. Set the server licenses for each CES node by issuing the following command: mmchlicense server --accept -N ces_node_ips
    For example:
    mmchlicense server --accept -N 203.0.113.7,203.0.113.9
  4. Enable CES by issuing the following command: mmchnode -N ces_nodes --ces-enable
    For example:
    mmchnode -N 203.0.113.7,203.0.113.9 --ces-enable
  5. Assign export IPs for each export_IP by issuing this command: mmces address add --ces-ip export_IP
