[gpfsug-discuss] File system manager - won't change to new node

Two thoughts:

1) Has your config data update fully propagated after the mmchnode?  We've
(rarely) seen some weird stuff happen when that process isn't complete yet,
or if a node in question simply didn't get the update (try md5sum'ing the
mmsdrfs file on nrg1-gpfs13 and compare to the cluster manager's md5sum,
make sure the push process isn't still running, etc.).  If you see
discrepancies, you could try an mmsdrrestore to get that node back into
spec.

2) If everything looks fine; what are the chances you could simply try
restarting GPFS on nrg1-gpfs13?  Might be particularly interesting to see
what the cluster tries to do with the filesystem once that node is down.
