GNR today is only sold as a packaged solution e.g. ESS.
The reason its not sold as SW only today is technical and its not true that
this is not been pursued, its just not there yet and we cant discuss plans on a
mailinglist.

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. (DDN on others)

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?
Thanks

2. 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.
