Installation overview of the space management client for AIX JFS2 systems

Before you install the space management client on AIX® Enhanced Journaled File System (JFS2) systems, you must review the general requirements, system-specific requirements, and review all installation steps.

There are several installation limitations for the space management client for AIX JFS2 systems:

  • The space management client for AIX JFS2 systems is not compatible with the space management client for IBM® Storage Scale AIX systems or the backup-archive client for IBM Storage Scale.
  • If you have either of these clients installed and want to install the space management client for AIX JFS2 systems, you must remove the IBM Storage Scale clients.
  • On AIX 6.1 and 7.1, the space management client can be installed in the global partition and supports transparent recall for both global and local workstation partitions (WPARs).
