This chapter has described the GPFS architecture and its components. It is important to keep in mind that the GPFS cluster performance depends on two parameters: the ability of the application to use the GPFS advantages, and the storage subsystem design.
The two different ways of using GPFS (for file system performance and for file system sharing among multiple nodes) can be merged on the same cluster, but you must be aware of the requirements related to different kinds of storage and networking hardware.
