Other Notes | |
The support for IBM Spectrum Scale is always added in addition to the versions, which are already supported. Note, that the certification was done with the latest IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Spectrum Protect. | |
On a IBM Spectrum Scale cluster with AIX, Linux x86, Linux Power (LE), or Linux zSeries nodes, use the IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management client only on one of these platforms to manage a shared file system. Do not use the IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management client on different platforms to manage a file system shared among these platforms. | |
IBM Spectrum Scale AFM and SOBAR are supported For the installation of IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive client and IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management client, the same (matching) release level is required. |
|
(1) The function mmbackup in the IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.4 or earlier does not work in combination with the IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive client 8.1.10. For IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.4 see APAR IJ22017, for IBM Spectrum Scale 4.2.3 see APAR IJ22035. | |
(2) If you run IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive client 8.1.9 or 8.1.10 and you use dsmc to run you backup, upgrade to 8.1.11 before you upgrade to IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.5.x or 5.1.0.x or higher levels. For more information, see Upgrade to IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive client 8.1.11 before you upgrade to IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.5 or later. | |
