[gpfsug-discuss] Strategies - servers with local SAS disks

I was going to ask about this, I recall it being mentioned about "grandfathering" and also having mixed deployments.

Would that mean you could per TB license one set of NSD servers (hosting only 1 FS) that co-existed in a cluster with other traditionally licensed systems?

I would see having NSDs with different license models hosting the same FS being problematic, but if it were a different file-system?

The new volume based licensing option is I agree quite pricey per TB at first sight, but it could make some configuration choice, a lot cheaper than they used to be under the Client:FPO:Server model.
