IBM GPFS pattern type makes use of proprietary GPFS wrappers with a defect

The GPFS pattern type version 1.2.10.0 will only use the GPFS wrappers included with the GPFS product in the next release of the GPFS pattern type. Today, GPFS pattern type 1.2.10.0, automatically deployed with two sets of GPFS wrappers. The ones that have been built by the IBM PureApplication development team, and
the ones that were subsequently built and included with the GPFS product.

The username for the remote SSH connections is a parameter and derived from the calling context,
however the private key for authentication has been hardcoded to be the one of the gpfsprod user. In the context of PureApp, the user should always be gpfsprod. From a consistency point of view, the user should also be hardcoded.
