[gpfsug-discuss] gpfs client expels

Hi there,

   I've seen the on several 'stock'?  'core'? GPFS system (we need a 
better term now GSS is out) and seen ping 'working', but alongside 
ejections from the cluster.
The GPFS internode 'ping' is somewhat more circumspect than unix ping - 
and rightly so.

In my experience this has _always_ been a network issue of one sort of 
another.  If the network is experiencing issues, nodes will be ejected.
Of course it could be unresponsive mmfsd or high loadavg, but I've seen 
that only twice in 10 years over many versions of GPFS.

You need to follow the logs through from each machine in time order to 
determine who could not see who and in what order.
Your best way forward is to log a SEV2 case with IBM support, directly 
or via your OEM and collect and supply a snap and traces as required by 
support.

Without knowing your full setup, it's hard to help further.
