[gpfsug-discuss] Disabling individual Storage Pools by themselves? How about GPFS Native Raid?

[Simon Thompson (Research Computing - IT Services)]

Er. Everytime I’ve ever asked about GNR,, the response has been that its only available as packaged products as it has to understand things like the shelf controllers, disk drives etc, in order for things like the disk hospital to work. (And the last time I asked talked about GNR was in May at the User group).

So under (3), I’m posting here asking if anyone from IBM knows anything different?

Thanks

Simon

2. I don't know the details of the packaged products, but I believe you can license the software and configure huge installations,
comprising as many racks of disks, and associated hardware as you desire or need.  The software was originally designed to be used
in the huge HPC computing laboratories of certain governmental and quasi-governmental institutions.
