[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS GUI does not create snapshots

Tue Jan 12 10:46:16 GMT 2021

Hello Philipp.

there is no additional service that covers the snapshot scheduling besides
the GUI service.

Please note, that in case you have two GUI instances running, the snapshot
scheduling would have moved to the second instance in case you reboot.
The GUI/REST application logs are located in /var/log/cnlog/mgtsrv, but I
propose to open a support case for this issue.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Hello Simon,

I have already rebooted the server but no change.

I also see no calls to mmcrsnapshot in the journalctl sudo log. Maybe there
is a service which is not running?

Kind regards
Philipp

      Have you tried restarting the gpfs.gui service?

      At some point in the past we have seen similar and restarting the GUI
      made it start again.

      Hello,

      we have gpfs GUI on 4.2.3.22 running and it suddenly stopped to
      create new snapshots from schedule. I can manually create snapshots
      but none is created from schedule.

      How can I debug it?

      Kind regards

      Philipp Rehs
