<div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">HI All,
<div class="gmail_msg"> </div>
<div class="gmail_msg">I have a tantalisingly interesting question about licensing...</div>
<div class="gmail_msg"> </div>
<div class="gmail_msg">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 class="gmail_msg"> </div>
<div class="gmail_msg">Anyone want to disagree?</div>
