<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">They seem to have killed dead the idea of just moving the software side of that by itself, wayyy.... back now. late 2013?/early 2014 Even though the components are fairly standard
units(Engenio before, not sure now). <br>
<br>
Ironic as GPFS/Spectrum Scale is storage software... Even more ironic for our site as we have the Controller based units these JBODs are from for our metadata and one of our many storage pools. (DDN on others)

<div>Er. Everytime I’ve ever asked about GNR,, the response has been that its only available as packaged products as it has to understand things like the shelf controllers, disk drives etc, in order for things like the disk hospital to work. (And the last time
I asked talked about GNR was in May at the User group).</div>

<div>So under (3), I’m posting here asking if anyone from IBM knows anything different?</div>
