<p class="MsoNormal">The DSS-G 5.0c release mostly brings back the GUI that was not supported in 5.0a and 5.0b as there were problems we had to work out with IBM (and that we eventually resolved ourselves).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The GUI-related RPMs shipping with the prior 5.0a and 5.0b releases were kept around in case someone needs them (which seems to be indeed a likely scenario given this thread) but were not supported in the context of deploying a GUI node
for DSS-G. Therefore only the GUI documentation was removed in these releases, and is now back again in DSS-G 5.0c.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bottom line — installations already running with DSS-G 5.0b (and 5.0a) do not need upgrading. DSS-G 5.0b and 5.0c are running the same software and firmware levels and can coexist without issue. The
<a href="https://hpc.lenovo.com/dssg/DSS-G-5.0c.Release_Notes.txt">release notes for DSS-G 5.0c</a> are pretty short actually:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The one thing that could be useful to deployments with DSS-G 5.0b is the update to the onecli.sh wrapper. If needed, the script can be copied from the 5.0c tarball into /opt/lenovo/dss/bin/ on those DSS nodes deployed with 5.0b.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone from Lenovo read this list that can comment on whether or not there’s therefore an upgrade path from 5.0b to 5.0c? If they’re running all of the same stuff, pretty much, it would be nice not to have to run two slightly different
systems for obvious reasons. <o:p></o:p></p>

So I skipped the v5.0a release because that only supported the new V3<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
SR650's. However I have finished the "get off CentOS 7" project (apart<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>

support the older V1 and V2 SR650's.<br>
<br>
However in the release notes I read this<br>
<br>
The Storage Scale GUI is not supported with DSS-G 5.0.<br>

Now while I could not care less about the GUI per se, you need it for<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
the RestAPI which I really *do* care about.<br>

Please tell me that Lenovo have not just yanked this. I do notice that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
