Wulver Maintenance

GPFS Fileset Changes

Wulver will be out of service Wed Oct 18th between 9:00 am-11:00 am for updates and configuration changes. The maintence will be conducted to fix the stale file handle error on /scratch while accessing files from login node.

Maintencance Plans

Recommendation:

  • Each fileset gets it’s own inode namespace
  • Fileset names to automatically inherit pool policies
  • Additional fileset settings for chmod to not conflict with ACLs

Migration Plan:

  • Create new filesets and link under /mmfs1/Scratch and /mmfs1/Project
    • New fileset names with sata1-project_xx and nvme1-scratch_xx (no bearing on FS path)
    • New fileset have own inode spaces
  • Rsync data from old to new location
  • Job outage for final copy and change
  • Final rsyncs
    • Remove symlink for /mmfs1/scratch and create /mmfs1/scratch
    • Unlink/relink filesets in new location
    • Resolve any links remaining on nodes/images
