IBM Storage Scale 5.2.1 has been released!

For a summary of changes see here!

If you miss: dstat –gpfs –gpfs-ops

Maybe your new favorite command is mmpstat! And if you want those expelled nodes to stay down, now they will! That is unless you run: mmexpelnode -r/–reset

The new and improved Cluster Export Services (CES) S3 is here! Think of it as High Performance Object (HPO) 2.0 now also running on VMs and bare metal! Check out the test measurements here where you can get 60 GB/s of read performance. Yes, that’s a byte which is a lot of bits!

If you want to get Scale storage services on arm64 platforms now, you can! Unofficially, let’s race to running it on your Pi!

Scale training has also been updated and it’s available on IBM training and Coursera! Check out this blog post for more information on classes and subscription options!
