The original announcement letter for Spectrum Scale Data Management Edition (US version reference below) re-defines a terabyte (nice eh?, should be a tebibyte). My math agrees with yours, assuming your file system size is actually 1PB versus 1PiB
Terabyte Terabyte is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. A terabyte is 2 to the 40th power bytes. Licensee must obtain an entitlement for each terabyte available to the Program. https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=an&subtype=ca&appname=gpateam&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS216-158 ------------------ Glen Corneau Power Systems Washington Systems Center [email protected] From: "Daniel Kidger" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/13/2017 11:32 AM Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] User group Meeting at SC17 - Registration and program details Sent by: [email protected] All, For me the URL looks to have got mangled. Should be: http://files.gpfsug.org/presentations/2017/Manchester/09_licensing-update.pdf with the index page that points to it here: http://www.spectrumscale.org/presentations/ Also a personal note, I have found increasing confusion of decimal v. binary units for storage capacity. I understand that Spectrum Scale uses binary TiB, but say an 1TB drive is in decimal so c. 10% difference. So a 1 Petabyte filesystem needs only 909 TiB of Spectrum Scale licenses. Any comments from others?
