Installing IBM Spectrum Conductor

Install IBM® Spectrum Conductor to either a local or shared environment.

Option 1: Local installation

When you install IBM Spectrum Conductor to a local environment, you install the product onto every host in the cluster.

Your environment includes the IBM Spectrum Conductor product, and also accompanying instances (instance groups, Anaconda or Miniconda distribution instances, and application instances). With your local installation of IBM Spectrum Conductor, you also deploy instances either to that local environment so that each host in the cluster has its own deployments, or deploy to a shared file system so that all hosts can share and access.

Option 2: Shared installation

When you install to a shared environment, you install IBM Spectrum Conductor once on a shared file system (such as IBM Spectrum Scale™) that every host in the cluster shares and can access.

With your shared installation of IBM Spectrum Conductor, you can deploy instances (instance groups, Anaconda or Miniconda distribution instances, and application instances) to that shared environment so that each host in the cluster can access the deployments.
