Security<br />

You must have root authority to run the mmchconfig comm<strong>and</strong>.<br />

You may issue the mmchconfig comm<strong>and</strong> from any node in the <strong>GPFS</strong> cluster.<br />

When using the rcp <strong>and</strong> rsh comm<strong>and</strong>s for remote communication, a properly configured .rhosts file must<br />

exist in the root user’s home directory on each node in the <strong>GPFS</strong> cluster. If you have designated the use<br />

of a different remote communication program on either the mmcrcluster or the mmchcluster comm<strong>and</strong>,<br />

you must ensure:<br />

1. Proper authorization is granted to all nodes in the <strong>GPFS</strong> cluster.<br />

2. The nodes in the <strong>GPFS</strong> cluster can communicate without the use of a password, <strong>and</strong> without any<br />

extraneous messages.<br />

Examples<br />

To change the maximum file system block size allowed to 512 KB, issue this comm<strong>and</strong>:<br />

mmchconfig maxblocksize=512K<br />

To confirm the change, issue this comm<strong>and</strong>:<br />

mmlsconfig<br />
