Procedure:SpectrumScaleInstall

The basic steps to install Spectrum Scale on client nodes are as follows:

• Add the EMS' root key to the host authorized_keys
• Add PATH="$PATH:/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin" to root's .bashrc to make things easier
• Install prerequisite packages:
  • For rhel: yum -y install kernel-devel cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc sssd ypbind openldap-clients krb5-workstation ksh m4 net-tools
  • For ubuntu: apt install cpp gcc g++ yp-tools ksh
• Run the Spectrum Scale installer-extractor (in erik-k's 'drivers' directory): ./Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.5.7-x86_64-Linux-install
• Install the Spectrum packages:
  • cd /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.7/gpfs_rpms/
  • rpm -ivh gpfs.base*.rpm gpfs.gpl*rpm gpfs.license*rpm gpfs.gskit*rpm gpfs.msg*rpm gpfs.compression*rpm gpfs.adv*rpm gpfs.crypto*rpm

or

• • cd /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.0.5.7/gpfs_debs/
  • apt install ./gpfs.base*.deb ./gpfs.gpl*deb ./gpfs.license*deb ./gpfs.gskit*deb ./gpfs.msg*deb ./gpfs.compression*deb ./gpfs.adv*deb ./gpfs.crypto*deb
• mmbuildgpl

Followed by running on the EMS,

• mmaddnode -N NODE.stor:nonquorum::client --accept
• mmstartup -N NODE
• mmgetstate -a # confirm it's running

... Whereupon /gpfs/gpfs0/ magically appears on the host node. Mischief managed.
