[gpfsug-discuss] Gpfs Standar and JBOD enclosures

[Andrew Beattie]

Iban,

Spectrum scale native raid will not be an option for your scenario.

Scale erasure code edition does not support JBOD enclosures at this point.

And Scale Native RAID is only certified for specific hardware ( IBM ESS or Lenovo GSS )

This means you either need to use Hardware raid controllers or a shared nothing disk architecture ( I would recommend the raid controllers )

Regards, 

Andrew
