Spectrum Scale was designed to support non routable secondary/private high speed data networks. Such as infiniband or 40/100GB Ethernet. The assumption being that only a limited set of servers would use the network.
As our needs have grown we have to designing and building a separate routable high speed network on which all our DB2 databases, GPU/TPU clusters, will live. Only to discover we couldn't specify the netmask to GPFS it picks those up locally and they are all /26. :-)
Please change the subnets configuration parameter to allow specification of the correct mask for the network. (10.15.128.0:19/clusternm.cmpny.com,clusternm2.cmpny.com)
If the :netmask is not specified backwards compatibility is maintained. If it is specified it overrides in all cases the netmask from the server
