Installing
- Steps for establishing and starting your IBM Spectrum Scale cluster
There are several steps you must perform to establish and start your IBM Spectrum Scale cluster. This topic provides the information you need for performing those steps. - Installing IBM Spectrum Scale on Linux nodes and deploying protocols
Use this information for installing IBM Spectrum Scale on Linux nodes and deploying protocols. - Installing IBM Spectrum Scale on AIX nodes
There are three steps for installing GPFS on AIX® nodes. - Installing IBM Spectrum Scale on Windows nodes
There are several steps for installing GPFS on Windows nodes. The information in this topic points you to the detailed steps. - Installing Cloud services on IBM Spectrum Scale nodes
The Cloud services installation is not included in the IBM Spectrum Scale installation toolkit workflow. It needs to be installed separately on top of the IBM Spectrum Scale cluster. However, the Cloud services RPMs are available with the IBM Spectrum Scale package. - Installing and configuring IBM Spectrum Scale management API
The IBM Spectrum Scale management API implementation is based on the IBM Spectrum Scale GUI stack. Installation and configuration of GUI sets up the API infrastructure. That is, you do not need to perform any API-specific deployment procedures. - Installation of Active File Management (AFM)
Consider the following while installing Active File Management (AFM). - Installing and upgrading AFM-based Disaster Recovery
The primary and the secondary are two separate operational clusters separated from each other through LAN or WAN. AFM DR functions are available in Advanced Edition, Data Management Edition, or IBM Spectrum Scale Erasure Code Edition. All nodes in both the primary and secondary clusters must be running the Advanced Edition, Data Management Edition, or Erasure Code Edition. - Installing call home
The call home feature collects files, logs, traces, and details of certain system health events from different nodes and services. These details are shared with the IBM® support center for monitoring and problem determination. - Installing file audit logging
The following topics describe the requirements, limitations, and steps to install file audit logging. - Installing watch folder
The following topics describe the requirements, limitations, and steps to install watch folder. - Installing clustered watch
The following topics describe the requirements, limitations, and steps to install clustered watch. - Steps to permanently uninstall GPFS
GPFS maintains a number of files that contain configuration and file system related data. Since these files are critical for the proper functioning of GPFS and must be preserved across releases, they are not automatically removed when you uninstall GPFS.
