Object issues

The following information describes some of the Object-related issues that you might come across while using IBM Storage Scale.

Important:
  • CES Swift Object protocol feature is not supported from IBM Storage Scale 5.2.0 onwards.
  • IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 is the last release that has CES Swift Object protocol.
  • IBM Storage Scale 5.2.0 will tolerate the update of a CES node from IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8.
    • Tolerate means:
      • The CES node will be updated to 5.2.0.
      • Swift Object support will not be updated as part of the 5.2.0 update.
      • You may continue to use the version of Swift Object protocol that was provided in IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 on the CES 5.2.0 node.
      • IBM will provide usage and known defect support for the version of Swift Object that was provided in IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 until you migrate to a supported object solution that IBM Storage Scale provides.
  • Please contact IBM for further details and migration planning.
