[gpfsug-discuss] User group Meeting at SC17 - Registration and program details

The original announcement letter for Spectrum Scale Data Management 
Edition (US version reference below)
re-defines a terabyte (nice eh?, should be a tebibyte).   My math agrees 
with yours, assuming your file system size is
actually 1PB versus 1PiB

Terabyte
Terabyte is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. A 
terabyte is
2 to the 40th power bytes. Licensee must obtain an entitlement for each 
terabyte
available to the Program.

All,
 
For me the URL looks to have got mangled.
 
Should be:
    
http://files.gpfsug.org/presentations/2017/Manchester/09_licensing-update.pdf
with the index page that points to it here:
    http://www.spectrumscale.org/presentations/
 
Also a personal note, I have found increasing confusion of decimal v. 
binary units for storage capacity.
I understand that Spectrum Scale uses binary TiB,  but say an 1TB drive is 
in decimal so c. 10% difference.
So a 1 Petabyte filesystem needs only 909 TiB of Spectrum Scale licenses.
Any comments from others?
Daniel

We moved all of our socket licenses to per TB DME earlier this year, and
then also have DME per drive for our Lenovo DSS-G system, which for
various reasons is in a different cluster

There are certainly people in IBM UK who understand this process if that
was something you wanted to look at.
