Adding IBM Storage Scale Client script packages

Use the console to import the IBM Storage Scale archive file to create the Connect to External IBM Storage Scale Server script package in the Cloud Pak System Software catalog.

Before you begin

You must be assigned the Create new catalog content role or the Workload resources administration role with full permissions to complete this task.

You should have already created the archive file in .tgz (.tar.gz) format that contains the main executable file (shell script or python script) along with the associated cbscript.json files that support the execution of the main executable file.

About this task

You import the archive file that contains your main executable files and associated cbscript.json files to add the new script package to the Cloud Pak System Software catalog, where it is available for later inclusion in a virtual system pattern.
Multisystem environment considerations
  • If you are adding script packages in a multisystem environment, the operation takes place only on the local system.
  • For information about the fields on the Script Packages page, see Managing script packages.

Procedure

  1. Click Catalog > Script Packages.
    The Script Packages page displays the list of script packages that are currently available. The list is displayed in a table format, providing some basic details about each script package.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Browse to the archive file for the connecttoexternalgpfsserver.tgz archive file.
  4. Click Import.

    If the import is successful, the script package details are displayed.

  5. If necessary, configure the script package by providing information as needed in the fields on the Script Packages page.
  6. When you complete the configuration for the script package, the script package is saved in the catalog.
