HDFS Transparency download

The download source and the contents of an installation package vary depending on the HDFS Transparency version.

  1. Visit IBM® Fix Central to download the HDFS Transparency package.
  2. For HDFS Transparency 3.1.0 and earlier:
    1. Search for Spectrum_Scale_HDFS_Transparency-<version>-<arch>-Linux® to find the correct package.
    2. Untar the downloaded package:
      tar zxvf Spectrum_Scale_HDFS_Transparency-<version>-<arch>-Linux.tgz

    For HDFS Transparency version 3.1.1 or later, the HDFS Transparency package is available through the IBM Storage Scale software. The IBM Storage Scale software is delivered in a self-extracting archive. This self-extracting archive can be downloaded from the Fix Central. For more information, see the Extracting the IBM Storage Scale software on Linux nodes topic in the IBM Storage Scale: Concepts, Planning, and Installation Guide.

    For example, Spectrum_Scale_Advanced-5.1.0.0-x86_64-Linux is the fix pack in the Fix Central and Spectrum_Scale_Advanced-5.1.0.0-x86_64-Linux-install is the self-extracting archive package.

    For IBM Storage Scale 5.1.0.0 on RHEL7, the self-extracting installation package places the packages in the following default directory:
    /usr/lpp/mmfs/5.1.0.0/hdfs_rpms/rhel7/hdfs_3.1.1.x

  • The installation toolkit cannot be used if the HDFS Transparency package is not a part of the IBM Storage Scale software self-extracting archive package because of the signed repo checking (for example, as a patch/efix package). Therefore, you must use the manual installation method to install or upgrade.
