6. You are now asked if you want to enable the Portals compatibility mode on the HP SFS system.
If your HP SFS client nodes are not being upgraded to HP SFS Version 2.2 at the same time as your
HP SFS servers, you must use the Portals compatibility mode on your HP SFS servers (that is, you must
set the portals.compatibility attribute to yes). Only one interconnect can be used when the
servers are running in Portals compatibility mode.
You can enable the Portals compatibility mode at this point in the upgrade, or you can enable it later.
If you enable the Portals compatibility mode now, and your system uses more than one interconnect,
you will be asked to specify which of the interconnects is to be used, as follows:
If you are not planning to upgrade your SFS client nodes
at this time, you need to enable portals compatibility
mode on the SFS servers. This allows the newer version
of Lustre to communicate with clients running the previous
version of Lustre. While in portals compatibility mode, the
SFS system can only use 1 interconnect.
If you do not wish to enable portals compatibility mode now,
you can do so later.
