    Posted 12/06/17 10:15 AM

    Could someone please provide general information on the basic hardware prerequisites for a Spectrum Scale cluster?

    The minimum hardware requirements are:

    • IBM Spectrum Scale for Linux on z Systems (IBM Z) support is dependent upon the OS in use:
      • SLES 11 is supported on System z9®, System z10™, and zEnterprise®
      • SLES 12 is supported on zEnterprise
      • RHEL 6 is supported on System z9, System z10, and zEnterprise
      • RHEL 7 is supported on zEnterprise
    • IBM Spectrum Scale V4/IBM GPFS V3 running on POWER:
      • AIX on POWER is supported by IBM POWER5 processors, or higher processors , supported by your level of AIX, with a minimum of 2 GB of system memory.
      • Linux on POWER is supported on IBM POWER5, or higher, processors, with a minimum of 2 GB of system memory
    • IBM Spectrum Scale V4/IBM GPFS V3 on x86 Architecture is supported on:
      • Intel EM64T processors, with 2 GB of memory
      • AMD Opteron processors, with 2 GB of memory
      • Because of their sometimes unique communications fabric, or other elements of the system architecture, support of GPFS in any Cray system environment requires GPFS development review and approval.
