<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The docs say: “</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#323232;background:white">CES supports the following export protocols: NFS, SMB, object, and iSCSI (block). Each protocol can be enabled
or disabled in the cluster. If a protocol is enabled in the CES cluster, all CES nodes serve that protocol.”</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> Which would seem to indicate that the answer is “no”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This kind of thing is another good reason to license Scale by storage capacity rather than by sockets (PVU). This approach was already a good idea due to the flexibility it allows to scale manager, quorum, and
NSD server nodes for performance and high-availability without affecting your software licensing costs. This can result in better design and the flexibility to more quickly respond to new problems by adding server nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So assuming you’re not on the old PVU licensing model, it is trivial to deploy
<i>as many gateway nodes as needed</i> to separate these into distinct remote clusters. You can create an object gateway cluster, and a CES gateway cluster each which only mounts and exports what is necessary. You can even
<i>virtualize</i> these servers and host them on the same hardware, if you’re into that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to be unable to find any information on separating protocol services on specific CES nodes within a cluster. Does anyone know if it is possible to take, lets say 4 of the ces nodes within a cluster and dividing them into two and
have two of the running SMB and the other two running OBJ instead of having them all run both services?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If it is possible it would be great to hear pros and cons about doing this
