[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS on PowerVM Shared Storage Pools

I have a client who is very enamored with PowerVM Shared Storage Pools (because they work great for them).

Has anyone here implemented GPFS on such? I think that technically there’s no reason that it wouldn’t work, but I’ve never actually "owned" an installation with GPFS on SSPs. Any thoughts?

NB: There is an entry on the SSP FAQ that lists "What disk types are NOT supported for Shared Storage Pool use?", among which GPFS is listed. I take that to mean that you can’t deploy an SSP on GPFS storage (not the other way around). This entry also lists iSCSI, for example, which is definitely not supported for SSP use.

Liberty,
