  • 1.  Storage Scale use cases wanted

    Posted Fri December 12, 2025 09:48 AM

    Hello All,

    I'm part of a team writing a redbook on Storage Scale (GPFS) inside OpenShift. I would love to add Filenet Content Manager as a storage use case for the Container Native Storage Architecture (CNSA) chapter. I'm looking for feedback on the practical experiences with the deployment, usage, maintenance, etc. 

    Especially great if the Scale tiering mechanism is used, even better if tape is involved.

    Please reply to this post or DM me!

    Hi Maarten,

    That sounds like an interesting and valuable addition to the redbook! I have experience working with FileNet Content Manager in containerized environments, including OpenShift, and I'd be happy to share insights on deployment, usage, and maintenance.

    Utilizing Storage Scale (GPFS) within the Container Native Storage Architecture (CNSA) can be a powerful solution for managing large-scale content. We've leveraged the Scale tiering mechanism to optimize performance and cost efficiency, especially when handling vast amounts of document-based data.

    When integrating tape storage, the key challenge often lies in the seamless orchestration between tape and cloud-based storage. However, the integration with GPFS ensures smooth data lifecycle management.

    Let me know if you need further details or real-world examples from my experience. Happy to discuss this further!

    Hello,

    I can contribute practical input from deployments where FileNet Content Manager (as part of CP4BA) runs on OpenShift and uses Ceph via CSI for its shared file-based persistence (notably the CPE filestores / content storage areas requiring RWX semantics).

    Happy to provide information . Please DM me with the scope you want.
