2. Ensure that the directory was properly quiesced and see if there are any outstanding requests. Repeat this
occasionally to know when all outstanding requests have been cleared.
dvs1#
cat /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
/gpfs/test/foo/: Outstanding_Requests 3
3. Unquiesce the directory when finished with it.
dvs1#
echo unquiesce /gpfs/test/foo > /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
4. Ensure that the directory is no longer on the quiesced list.
dvs1#
cat /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
6.1.8.6.2 Use Case: Quiesce All Directories on a DVS Server
Prerequisites
This procedure requires administrative privileges.
About this task
The example provided in this procedure is for a scenario in which an admin wants to remove a DVS server from
service but wants to let any outstanding request complete first.
Procedure
1. Quiesce all directories on that server on the DVS server.
dvs1#
echo quiesce / > /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
2. Look for any outstanding requests and repeat this occasionally to know when all outstanding requests have
been cleared.
When no outstanding requests remain, the server can be removed from service.
dvs1#
cat /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
/: Outstanding_Requests 3
3. Unquiesce all of its projected directories to allow traffic to this server to resume.
dvs1#
echo unquiesce / > /proc/fs/dvs/quiesce
