    Allow multiple targets in an AFM-fileset (AFM-S3 only perhaps)

    It would be good if we could have data coming from multiple sources in an AFM fileset. Perhaps a client has data that needs to be presented from NFS and S3. The application would have to talk to two different filesets to get data. The current use ...

    Auto expansion of inode to trigger once usage reaches around 95%

    Today the Scale alerts and auto expansion are triggered when inode usage is very close to 100% and typically that means when the filesystem in use is very active and busy and is not optimal for performance. Would like to see the auto expansion of ...
    about 2 years ago in Storage Scale (formerly known as GPFS) 1 Functionality already exists

    we need an a way to avoid such NFS System Hang IO when any of protocol nodes restarted and ganesha go in grace period time ...i suggest to enhance in way of ganesha work to avoid clients that connected to other protocol nodes to affect with this time and only cliets that connected to this rebooted node hange in time of grace period until VIP move to another availabe node ...As we have a Big cluster with 6 nodes of protocol nodes and when one of them go down all banking sectors affected with this time of grace period ..hope to find us a solution for this long time problem desing.

    because not all system will go down and only clients that connected to protocol node affected one will disconnect only and other will still working fine. all mega projects that use Spectrum scale and to avoid SPOF description when one of protocol ...

    AFM Azure Blob direct support

    For data exchange, data access from multiple sites and also access of data from within Azure we would like to use Spectrum Scale AFM connected to a Azure blob similar as connected to S3 storage. Currently this will require a S3 / Azure converter l...

    CNSA / Rest API - Restrict GUI User access to a single Filesystem

    Customize At Risk intervals to reflect real environment

    In order to have the Operations Center reflect correctly the risk status of Spectrum Protect nodes we should be able to inform accuratedly when the backups really run. Some clients, for instance, have nodes that run backups only on weekdays, so th...

    GUI snapshot deletion from oldest to newest

    Due to inode manipulation, it is a best practice and less effort to the GPFS to delete the oldest snapshot first. However, when doing the snapshot deletion manually, in the client using the GUI, it should also order it from oldest to newest.This w...
