<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the response, but that page is still not helpful.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We will not be exporting any data from the GPFS cluster through the AFM gateways. Data will be coming from external NFS data sources, through the gateway nodes INTO the GPFS file systems.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Reading that licensing page suggests a client license is acceptable in this situation. There is no mention of AFM explicitly as a function of the server license.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Luke.</div></div>

<div dir="ltr" >HI All,
<div> </div>
<div>I have a tantalisingly interesting question about licensing...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When installing a couple of AFM gateway nodes into a cluster for data migration, where the AFM filesets will only ever be local-updates, those nodes should just require a client license, right? No GPFS data will leave through those nodes, so I can't see any valid argument for them being server licensed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone want to disagree?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Luke.</div></div></blockquote></div></div>
