[gpfsug-discuss] 4.1.1 protocol support

[Simon Thompson (Research Computing - IT Services)]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has looked at the new protocol support stuff in 4.1.1 yet?

>From what I can see, it wants to use the installer to add things like IBM Samba onto nodes in the cluster. The docs online seem to list manual installation as running the chef template, which is hardly manual...

1. Id like to know what is being run on my cluster
2. Its an existing install which was using sernet samba, so I don't want to go out and break anything inadvertently
3. My protocol nodes are in a multicluster, and I understand the installer doesn't support multicluster.

(the docs state that multicluster isn't supported but something like its expected to work).

So... Has anyone had a go at this yet and have a set of steps?

I've started unpicking the chef recipe, but just wondering if anyone had already had a go at this?

(and lets not start on the mildy bemusing error when you "enable" the service with "mmces service enable" (ces service not enabled) - there's other stuff to enable it)...
