Managing protocol services
GPFS provides system administrators with the ability to manage the protocol services.
- Configuring and enabling SMB and NFS protocol services
If you have not previously enabled and started the Cluster Export Services (CES) protocol services, enable and start them now. - Configuring and enabling the Object protocol service
If you want to use the Cluster Export Services (CES) object service and it was not configured and enabled during the installation, configure object services now. - Configuring and enabling the BLOCK service
If you have not previously enabled and started the Cluster Export Services (CES) BLOCK service, enable and start it now. The iSCSI protocol in IBM Spectrum Scale is referred to as the BLOCK service. - Disabling protocol services
Exercise caution in disabling protocol services so that configuration information is not lost.
