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

[Zachary Giles]

I think it's technically possible to run GNR on unsupported trays. You
may have to do some fiddling with some of the scripts, and/or you wont
get proper reporting.
Of course it probably violates 100 licenses etc etc etc.
I don't know of anyone who's done it yet. I'd like to do it.. I think
it would be great to learn it deeper by doing this.
