An AFM gateway node would definitely be a server licensed node. Here are the working definitions, and yes, this would be true for the various editions of IBM Spectrum Scale:

Thanks for the feature matrix, but it doesn't really say anything about client / server licenses. Surely you can have clients and servers in all three flavours - Express, Standard and Advanced.On Thu, 10 Nov 2016 at 12:07 Andrew Beattie <[email protected]> wrote:I think you will find that AFM in any flavor is a function of the Server license, not a client license.i've always found this to be a pretty good guide, although you now need to add Transparent Cloud Tiering into the bottom columnAndrew BeattieSoftware Defined Storage - IT SpecialistPhone: 614-2133-7927E-mail: [email protected]----- Original message -----

HI All,I have a tantalisingly interesting question about licensing...When installing a couple of AFM gateway nodes into a cluster for data migration, where the AFM filesets will only ever be local-updates, those nodes should just require a client license, right? No GPFS data will leave through those nodes, so I can't see any valid argument for them being server licensed.Anyone want to disagree?Cheers,Luke._______________________________________________
