Hi All,

Merry christmas to everyone listening in!

I hope someone can shed some light on this as its starting to annoy me that i 
cant get any information other than whats in the documentation which for this 
part is not very fullfilling.. atleast for me it isnt..

I am currently discussing with IBM Support about the Spectrum Scale Object 
install procedure for v5.1.0.1 because alot of dependencies is missing when 
trying to install it.

Link to the documentation:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.1.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r10.doc/bl1ins_manualobjinstall.htm

And as i could read in the documentation before i contacted IBM and what they 
said to me after i created the ticket is that "The installation of 
spectrum-scale-object requires that the repositories for the OpenStack packages 
and their dependencies are available, which are typically the 
openstack-16-for-rhel-8 and codeready-builder-for-rhel-8 repositories"

And here is the funny part, i dont like the word "Typically" as if we are to 
guess where to find the dependencies.. i get the idea of moving the packages 
away from the spectrum scale package to be sure they are up-to-date when 
installed rather than old versions lying around until a new .x version 
releases..

but any who, even trying to enable those two repos have proved difficult as 
they are simply not available on my system.. hence why i still have a lot of 
dependencies missing..

My theory is that to have those repos shown to my system i would need another 
redhat license than the "server license" i already have? propably some sort of 
Redhat Openstack license? Can any one confirm if this is the case?

If it is i guess that means that IBM is now pushing a new license ontop of 
customers if they want to use the new Object release with the 5.1.0.1 
version... and that will be it for me.. ill look some where else then for the 
object/s3 part..

Sorry if i come across as angry but im starting to get alittle annoyed at IBM 
:) We were using S3 on the previous release but in the end could'nt really use 
it because of the limitations of the old way they implemented it and we're told 
there was a new backend coming which had all the features needed but then they 
pulled it from the .0 version without notice and we had already upgraded from 
4.x.x.x to 5.1.x.x and had to find out the hard way.. most of you propably read 
the old discussion i started about an alternative to scale object/s3..


Best Regards
Andi Christiansen
