  • 1.  GPFS connection from Azure ADF

    Posted 07/16/26 12:02 PM

    Hi All,

    I have a scenario, I want to ingest some source mainframe files that are available on GPFS into Azure using ADF. 

    Is there any direct ways to connect to GPFS using Azure ADF ? If not then what are the steps to do so? 

    Thanks,

    Hello Hina,

    AFAIK Azure ADF does not provide a connector to IBM Storage Scale (GPFS).

    But it is possible to connect Scale by using AFM functionality to Azure Blob storage.
