IBM Spectrum Scale service (Mpack)

The IBM Spectrum Scale Ambari management pack is an Ambari service for IBM Spectrum Scale.

For traditional Hadoop clusters that use HDFS, an HDFS service is displayed in the Ambari console to provide a graphical management interface for the HDFS configuration (hdfs-site.xml) and the Hadoop cluster (core-site.xml). Through the Ambari HDFS service, you can start and stop the HDFS service, make configuration changes, and implement the changes across the cluster.

The management pack creates an Ambari IBM Spectrum Scale service to start, stop, and make configuration changes to IBM Spectrum Scale and HDFS Transparency. Once the IBM Spectrum Scale HDFS Transparency is integrated, the HDFS service manages the HDFS Transparency NameNodes and DataNodes instead of the native HDFS components.
