IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

RHEL 9.X And GPFSGUI Daemon Fail bug?

line 67, checkPortIsAlreadyUsed in "/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/bin-sudo/check4iptables"

This function can act unintentionally when searching for 443 ports.


"checkPortIsAlreadyUsed" can act unintentionally when searching for 443 ports on the 72nd line of "/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/bin-sudo/functions_nftables.sh".


if netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep ":$1 " &>/dev/null; then

If $1 here is 443,

# netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep 443

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:44321 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1114/pmcd

tcp6 0 0 ::1:44321 :::* LISTEN 1114/pmcd


"return 1" is working. Because of the "pmcd" process.


I modify it as below as a temporary measure, so it works normally.

if netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep :$1 &>/dev/null; then

if netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep ":$1 " &>/dev/null; then


Please fix this error.
