[gpfsug-discuss] Scale Developer Edition free for non-production use now available

[Lehmann, Greg (IM&T, Pullenvale)]

Hi Carl,
	I am wondering if it is acceptable to use this as a test cluster. The main intentions being to try fixes, configuration changes etc. on the test cluster before applying those to the production cluster. I guess the issue with this release, is that it is the latest version. We really need a version that matches production and be able to apply fixpacks, PTFs etc. to it without breaching the license of the developer edition.

Cheers,

Greg Lehmann

This is full-function DME, no time restrictions, limited to 12TB per cluster. NO production use or support!

It’s likely that some people entirely new to Scale will find their way here to the user group Slack channel and mailing list, so I thank you in advance for making them welcome, and letting them know about the wealth of online information for Scale, including the email address scale at us.ibm.com
