For OneFS 8.0 check out the "maintenance window" feature, as described in Configuring CELOG

Same info Peter notes on page 91 of the OneFS 8.0 CLI guide (docu65065_OneFS-8.0.0-CLI-Administration-Guide).

I'm curious if anyone has seen this odd behavior when using these maintenance windows.  This has happened to me 2 or 3 times recently after patch installs using v8.0.0.2:

1. Place the cluster in a maintenance window for several hours (last time was 5).

2. Install patches and reboot nodes normally.

3. Finish all work well before the windows expires (last time still have over 1 hour on the "meter")

4. When the maintenance window ended at the 5 hour mark, the last node to reboot opened an SR automatically.

Like I say, this has happened 2 or 3 times, and I've learned to get in quick to close the case before I get a call from support.

Any one else notice this?

Turn off ESRS, do your maintenance and turn it back on?

(not using it, but shouldn't that be a way?)

I am thinking that wouldn't the alerts just queue up and when you turn ESRS those messages would just flood ESRS?

Well I have an ESRS set up but I still use the maintenance windows as described in the admin guide for OneFS.  I hadn't thought about maybe the ESRS being the cause.  I will try both maintenance window and turning off the ESRS during the installs next time.

Maybe someone can enlight us how ESRS handles events. I would expect that if everything is "green" after maintenance (so no Events/failures or anything) and i turn on ESRS that there wouldn't be any message going out.
