Right, Bryan. To expand on that a bit, I'll make two additional points.
(1) Only a node in the cluster that owns the file system can be appointed
a file system manager for the file system. Nodes that remote mount the
file system from other clusters cannot be appointed the file system
manager of the remote file system. (2) A node need not have the manager
designation (as seen in mmlscluster output) to become a file system
manager; nodes with the manager designation are preferred, but one could
use mmchmgr to assign the role to a non-manager node (for instance).

Hi Simon,
It will only trigger the callback on the currently appointed File System
Manager, so you need to make sure your callback scripts are installed on
all nodes that can occupy this role.
HTH,

Thanks Eric,
One other question, when it says it must run on a manager node, I'm
assuming that means a manager node in a storage cluster (we multi-cluster
clients clusters in).
Thanks

Simon,
Based on my reading of the code, when a softQuotaExceeded event callback
is invoked with %quotaType having the value "FILESET", the following
arguments correspond with each other for filesetLimitExceeded and
softQuotaExceeded:
- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeUsage and softQuotaExceeded %filesUsage
- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeQuota and softQuotaExceeded %filesQuota
- filesetLimitExceeded %inodeLimit and softQuotaExceeded %filesLimit
- filesetLimitExceeded %filesetSize and softQuotaExceeded %blockUsage
- filesetLimitExceeded %softLimit and softQuotaExceeded %blockQuota
- filesetLimitExceeded %hardLimit and softQuotaExceeded %blockLimit
So, terms have changed to make them a little friendlier and to generalize
them. An inode is a file. Limits related to inodes and to blocks are
being reported.

We were looking at adding some callbacks to notify us when file-sets go
over their inode limit by implementing it as a soft inode quota.
In the docs:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.3/com.ibm.spectru
m.scale.v4r23.doc/bl1adm_mmaddcallback.htm#mmaddcallback__Table1
There is an event filesetLimitExceeded, which has parameters: %inodeUsage
%inodeQuota, however the docs say that we should instead use
softQuotaExceeded as filesetLimitExceeded "It exists only for
compatibility (and may be deleted in a future version); therefore, using
softQuotaExceeded is recommended instead"
However.
softQuotaExceeded seems to have no %inodeQuota of %inodeUsage parameters.
Is this a doc error or is there genuinely no way to get the
inodeQuota/Usage with softQuotaExceeded? The same applies to passing
%quotaEventType.
Any suggestions?
Simon
