[gpfsug-discuss] Power9 / GPFS

[Billich Heinrich Rainer (PSI)]

Hello

If you don’t need the installer maybe just extract the RPMs, this bypasses java. For x86_64 I use commands like the once below, shouldn’t be much different on power.

TARFILE=$1

START=$( grep -a -m 1 ^PGM_BEGIN_TGZ= $TARFILE| cut -d= -f2)
echo extract RPMs from  $TARFILE with START=$START
tail -n +$START $TARFILE | tar  xvzf - *.rpm */repodata/*

Kind regards,

Heiner

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] Power9 / GPFS

I feel like I must be doing something stupid here but …

We’re trying to install GPFS onto some Power 9 AI systems we’ve just got…

So from Fix central, we download “Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.1.1-ppc64LE-Linux-install”, however we are failing to unpack the file:

./Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.1.1-ppc64LE-Linux-install --dir 5.0.1.1 --text-only

Extracting License Acceptance Process Tool to 5.0.1.1 ...
tail -n +620 ./Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.1.1-ppc64LE-Linux-install | tar -C 5.0.1.1 -xvz --exclude=installer --exclude=*_rpms --exclude=*rpm  --exclude=*tgz --exclude=*deb 1> /dev/null

Installing JRE ...

If directory 5.0.1.1 has been created or was previously created during another extraction,
.rpm, .deb, and repository related files in it (if there were) will be removed to avoid conflicts with the ones being extracted.

tail -n +620 ./Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.1.1-ppc64LE-Linux-install | tar -C 5.0.1.1 --wildcards -xvz  ibm-java*tgz 1> /dev/null
tar -C 5.0.1.1/ -xzf 5.0.1.1/ibm-java*tgz

Invoking License Acceptance Process Tool ...
5.0.1.1/ibm-java-ppc64le-80/jre/bin/java -cp 5.0.1.1/LAP_HOME/LAPApp.jar com.ibm.lex.lapapp.LAP -l 5.0.1.1/LA_HOME -m 5.0.1.1 -s 5.0.1.1  -text_only

This looks like the java runtime is failing during the license approval status.

First off, can someone confirm that “Spectrum_Scale_Data_Management-5.0.1.1-ppc64LE-Linux-install” is indeed the correct package we are downloading for Power9, and then any tips on how to extract the packages.

These systems are running the IBM factory shipped install of RedHat 7.5.

Thanks

Simon
