mmoxi

A Rust library and collection of tools for IBM Storage Scale (formerly Spectrum Scale, formerly GPFS) file systems.

Motivation

The Rust library at the moment is mostly mm* -Y parsing for easier access in tooling. We did all the mm* -Y parsing and tooling in shell scripts before. You can certainly do this, but writing good tooling in bash just doesn't scale. Having a library for access to the parsed output just makes writing tools so much easier.

Notable exceptions to parsing in the library and listing in tooling are:

1. An nmon integration that groups NSDs by (fs,pool)-tuple to be shown in nmons Disk Group I/O mode:

   mmoxi cache nmon
   NMON=g nmon -s 1 -d 1024 -g '/run/mmlocal-nmon-cache'
   

   This gives a better view of file servers and how much I/O they do with NSD groups rather than individual NSDs or everything summed up.

2. Prometheus metrics for:

   • disk availability
   • disk pool size
   • disk pool group I/O
   • quotas
