Deployment through the command-line interface
You can deploy the IBM Storage Scale System from different management servers by using command-line interface (CLI).
The software deployment is consistent across environments. However, deployment has slight variations based on a management server such as IBM Power9, x86 IBM® Storage Scale System Utility Node, or bring-your-own management server (BYOMS), hardware models, or specific customer requirements.
