IBM Storage Scale container native
IBM Storage Scale container native allows the deployment of the cluster file system in a Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster. Using a remote mount attached file system, the container native deployment provides a persistent data store to be accessed by the applications through the IBM Storage Scale CSI driver by using Persistent Volumes (PVs). For more information, see IBM Storage Scale Container Storage Interface Driver.

What's New
The following enhancements are made in this release:
- Container Storage Interface (CSI) 2.13.
- Support for deleting nodes from cluster.
- Pmcollector supports using either local persistent volumes or storage class defined volumes for performance data storage.
- Technology Preview Updates: Improvements for local file system
- Consume less resources because only a subset of nodes that have disks connected become NSD servers
- Define a node selector in LocalDisk custom resource that selects the nodes that have a connection to the disk
- Added support for 2-way and 3-way replication
- The support for local file system is a technology preview and is not for production use
