In this blog entry I would like to present how to use the IBM Spectrum Scale with CSI Operator on Openshift 4.2 by introducing a sample Tensorflow deployment with assigned GPFS storage. The basic concepts of CSI, storage provisioning, deployment and service routes will be covered in detail. At...
More often than not, we need a tool that helps create "given number of file" and "given size of files" in a "given directory" on a file storage or a filesystem. I need it in many POC with Spectrum Scale. So here is a quick basic script that helps you do that. Get it from: https://github.com...
Executive Summary IBM recommends that clients exploit the “ Improved Channel Path Recovery ” (ICR) function , first delivered in z/OS 1.13 (2011), to quickly fence failing I/O resources and minimize any impact on the production work load. The ICR function allows clients to set a z/OS policy...

Shortly after the DS8888F model was introduced toward the end of 2016, IBM published SPC-1 v3 benchmark numbers of 1.5M, more than 3x the previous DS8000 generation models, and at the time the highest SPC-1 v3 number. The DS8888F have two servers with up to 48 POWER8 cores and 1TB of memory...
On December 8, 2017, IBM made the DS8886 zHyperLink support generally available. Today’s blog entry introduces a video demo of the zHyperLink technology. Story Board TL;DR , Clients can transparently cut their application response times in half. Pass this video along to your clients so...
The ever expanding and accelerating generation of Big data has made mandatory the usage of more efficient and robust storage filesystems. The data migration across multiple storage mediums is proving to be expensive. There is an inevitable and urgent need to perform inplace data analytics and to...
Background • Native HDFS supports short circuit read to read data directly from local file system when HDFS client and target datanode are co-located on the same physical node. • 10% ~ 30% performance gain according to workloads and total reading data size • HDFS Transparency supports short...
Federation was added to HDFS to improve the HDFS NameNode horizontal scaling. In HDFS transparency, federation is used to make IBM Spectrum Scale filesystems and HDFS filesystem coexist. The Hadoop applications can get input data from the native HDFS, analyze the input and write the output to...
