Preparing the environment

Edit online

This section describes how to prepare the environment to install Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP®), IBM Spectrum Scale™ Ambari management pack, and HDFS Transparency on IBM Storage Scale.

The IBM Storage Scale Ambari management pack can be used for Ambari 2.7 for Hortonworks HDP to setup the IBM Storage Scale Service.

HDP requires specific version combinations for the Ambari, Mpack and HDFS Transparency. The IBM Storage Scale file system is independent of the versioning for HDP, Mpack and HDFS Transparency. Hortonworks has been certified to work with IBM Storage Scale 4.2.3 and later.
