  • 1.  OVA VMware template for IBM Spectrum Scale NAS

    Posted Fri May 05, 2023 10:09 AM

    Can we get an OVA VMware template for IBM Spectrum Scale NAS installation? We have got the license for "IBM Spectrum Scale Data Access Edition V5" software product. #ibmspectrumscale #IBMSoftwareDefinedStorage #SpectrumScale #GPFS

    IBM does not offer OVA images for Spectrum Scale NAS (=CES) nodes.
    You can deploy Storage Scale CES onto a supported Linux OS as described in the documentation (link).
    Alternatively you can check the SpectrumScaleVagrant project how VMs could be built in an automated manner with CES deployed.
