 +==== NSD access ====
 +
 +During NSD creation alternate node position for access to NSD.
 +If the first node is used as first node in NSD definition, then it 'll be only use and you'll reach performance problems
 +
 +If only the first node is selected as first into NSD definition means every NSD task ( read/ write ... ) has to be handled by NSD server '​gpfs1'​ as long as he is reachable.
 +Such a configuration could cause a overload situation on the affected server. ​
 +
 +The NSD server sequence can be adjusted online via command **mmchnsd** ( see below ):
