<i>any </i>version of your entitled editions/architectures of GPFS from fixcentral… if the only way you’re getting these for ESS on ppc64le is via the
<i>IBM tested and released</i> upgrade bundles then you don’t have access to arbitrary GPFS versions but rather just the ones which made it into a periodic ESS release.<o:p></o:p></p>
