CES Auth - SSSD

curently on CES nodes we can use only build-in gpfs winbind daemon to communicate with Microsoft AD. unfortunatelly with windbind we can not login to servers with AD users. therefore we must use windbind and sssd simultanously - that is not suppor...

Do you have any suggestions how we can do a recursive ACL change efficiently using mmputacl? For directory trees that include millions of files, running mmputacl on each file or directory using a file list generated by, let's say, the find command...

Allow hide TIP events only for specific nodes instead of all entities

TIP events are very useful to give an advice for some parameters to have configuration best practices and to achieve best performance on Scale Clusters. For example : hc_alert_scalehc_00006 = NumaInterleave is not enabled on a multi-CPU system hc_...

We have an automatic workflow which provisiones storage with the help of the REST API (and not mm* commands)Since we want to automate the S3 part, we need s3 commands in the REST API. So the request is to provide S3 administration via REST API, id...

CES S3 - S3 Glacier for Storage Protect managed tape libraries

It seems the feature has been implemented in NooBaa, but Storage Scale still does not officially support the S3 Glacier feature. Without S3 Glacier support, S3 users have no idea that their data has been migrated. This creates challenges for syste...

HA GUI synchronization for notification events

Changes to notification events are currently not synchronized to secondary GUI node in an HA GUI configuration. This lead to the problem, that I have to perform the "Mark as read" function for several GUI events at each GUI node separately, to get...

CES NFS - extended attributes

Storage Scale (GPFS) does support extended attributes for the users like: > getfattr -d stephan.txt > md5sum stephan.txt 041ad89a0dc0772f384f8d1bf4ddff4b stephan.txt > setfattr -n user.md5 -v 041ad89a0dc0772f384f8d1bf4ddff4b stephan.txt &...

Support for "directory swapping" (RENAME_EXCHANGE) on Linux

I propose adding support for the RENAME_EXCHANGE flag for directory renames in Storage Scale, to enable atomic directory swaps. Linux around kernel v3.15 added the renameat2 syscall which supports the RENAME_EXCHANGE flag to atomically swap two di...

CES S3 - subnet restrictions in S3 bucket policies

One of our ESS clusters stores highly sensitive data for around two thousand projects that needs to be kept strictly separate between projects, so we neeed the possibility to add subnet-requirements to buckets for proper data separation, like we c...

CES S3 - multiple supplementary groups for CES S3 managed S3 accounts

Currently there's only support for a single group ID for each S3 account. This doesn't fit well with normal file system permissions where the same account might need access to several groups of different roles. F.ex. /gpfs/fs1/department might all...
