[gpfsug-discuss] Specifying nodes in commands

mmapplypolicy ... -N nodeClass ...
will use the nodes in nodeClass as helper nodes to get its work done.
mmdsh -N nodeClass command ...
will run the SAME command on each of the nodes -- probably not what you
want to do with mmapplypolicy.
To see more about what mmapplypolicy is doing use options -d 1 (debug
info)
If you are using -N because you have a lot of files to process, you should
also use -g /some-gpfs-temp-directory (see doc)
If you are running a small test case, it may happen that you don't see the
helper nodes doing anything, because there's not enough time and work to
get them going...
For test purposes you can coax the helper nodes into action with:
options -B 1 -m 1 so that each helper node only does one file at a time.

Hello all,
I'm running a script triggered from an ILM external list rule.
The script has the following command in, and it isn't work as I'd expect:
/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmapplypolicy /gpfs1/aws -N cloudNode -P
/gpfs1/s3upload/policies/migration.policy --scope fileset
I'd expect the mmapplypolicy command to run the policy on all the nodes in
the cloudNode class, but it doesn't, it runs on the node that triggered
the script.
However, the following command does work as I'd expect:
/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmdsh -N cloudNode /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmapplypolicy
/gpfs1/aws -P /gpfs1/s3upload/policies/migration.policy --scope fileset
Can any one shed any light on this? Have I just misconstrued how
mmapplypolicy works?
Regards,
Peter Chase
