They seem to have killed dead the idea of just moving the software side of that by itself, wayyy.... back now. late 2013?/early 2014 Even though the components are fairly standard units(Engenio before, not sure now).
Ironic as GPFS/Spectrum Scale is storage software... Even more ironic for our site as we have the Controller based units these JBODs are from for our metadata and one of our many storage pools.

How about GPFS Native Raid? Er. Everytime I’ve ever asked about GNR,, the response has been that its only available as packaged products as it has to understand things like the shelf controllers, disk drives etc, in order for things like the disk hospital to work. (And the last time I asked talked about GNR was in May at the User group). So under (3), I’m posting here asking if anyone from IBM knows anything different?

I don't know the details of the packaged products, but I believe you can license the software and configure huge installations, comprising as many racks of disks, and associated hardware as you desire or need. The software was originally designed to be used in the huge HPC computing laboratories of certain governmental and quasi-governmental institutions.
