30TB is shitall and you should be able to get a dumb SMB target for whatever backup software you use. Park that across town.

He means get some cheap storage, store it somewhere off-site, then use something like Veeam to backup your production data to it. I think at this point there are better options, like using cloud storage and sending a drive to seed, but it works and is what I'm currently using.

As a follow up- no combo of logins have been successful. I'm no longer on site and we will be moving the data from the Netapp to our Isilon. We've decided to drop the Netapp, as at 6 years it's no longer cost effective to keep in production for the data it was hosting.

Interesting news from Brocade/Broadcom this morning: https://community.brocade.com/t5/Wingspan/Broadcom-to-Acquire-Brocade/ba-p/89520 quote:As part of this transaction, our Storage Area Network (SAN) business, will offer a strong complement to Broadcom’s offerings and capabilities, creating one of the industry’s broadest portfolios for enterprise storage. We believe that we will be able to further strengthen our OEM and partner ecosystem and help customers meet the next-generation network and storage requirements of digital business.

I was hoping to get a bit of advice. My NetApp-centric NAS job has been outsourced to a third-party company and I'm finding that my skillset is too narrow to find a similar opportunity. For the last six years, I've just been administering NetApp NAS filers, with a bit of Hitachi thrown in. NAS data storage doesn't, on its own, seem to be such a big deal here (Toronto). The company did give me a training allowance to advance my skillset, but I'm not sure what would be the most practical to take. I was thinking Big Data (whether Hadoop or Sparks or whatever), or maybe SAN. Or maybe I should update my MCSE, which is ancient. Any thoughts? I'm not working right now, so I have time during the day to take courses.

Go one layer deeper than CIFS and suddenly your skillset applies across the board.

I'm spitballing a new Openstack design in the coming weeks for a new data center space that will use rack-local iscsi-based storage as the backing storage device for all VMs in a particular rack. I have some experience with Solidfire, but little else, and while I like Solidfire's Openstack integration and how their HA model works, it'd be foolish for me to only look at what I've already used when there's other stuff out there like ScaleIO and Purestorage and Nimble. I'm not comfortable enough going the Ceph or GlusterFS route right now, and my company is fine paying for a flash-based storage appliance so we don't have the extra headache of managing storage. I have no hard I/O requirements since I'm merely spit-balling at this point, but the array will be hosting QCOW2 images on KVM hypervisors for 1000-1200 general-use VMs. I'm not planning on backing databases on this yet, but if said storage appliance has a bigger-and-beefier version that can scale up to meet higher I/O, then bonus. Can anyone points me towards some vendors - and specifically what models in their product lines - I should be looking at? My needs are: - <=10TB of raw storage (most dedupe is handled via qcow) - <=6U of rackspace - 10GB iSCSI connectivity - Native Cinder driver support My nice-to-haves are: - All flash (but hybrid is fine too) - As simple as possible to manage - Centralized management so we can manage an entire pod (or greater) of storage appliances from one pane of glass - HA between arrays, if feasible, so if we lose an appliance Budget is about 300k, but this number is flexible.

Right now, this sentence, makes me thing you only ever configured CIFS shares on the netapp. See how that works? How are the disks cabled on your NetApp? How did you handle load distribution? It's all the same fundamental concepts. It's

Your long term goal should be to stop being a storage admin because it's not a position that's long for this world in most environments. Your short term goal should be to learn enough to sell yourself as a solid all around NetApp admin and pick up some VMware and networking so you can get a job doing virtual infrastructure work as a bridge to whatever it is you ultimately want to do.

We're in the middle of a consolidation/commoditization phase in IT. Flash was just a bump in that road. If you can't sling VMs around I'm not really sure what's going to be left in ~5 years. I guess consultancy and sales will always exist to some degree.

Just going to leave this here as a nice horror-story: the ATO (Australian IRS) has managed to lose 1PB of data in a failure on a HPE SAN system: http://www.itnews.com.au/news/hpe-storage-crash-killed-ato-online-services-444490. Apparently they had two SANs, a primary and a DR secondary, with volumes replicated between them. Corruption or some poo poo occurred on the primary and it happily replicated it across to the DR secondary. Nice.

Vulture Culture posted:Their own incompetence aside, how badly did their auditors have to gently caress up to not catch this on the DR plan? Lol what auditors? The Australian federal government has had a number of impressive IT fuckups primarily due to literally zero oversight of department/ministry IT systems. From what I've read HPE are actually directly contracted to the ATO to support their systems so they'll be on the line for this fuckup. Of course the $1B contract ends next year so they'll just drag out the investigation and then say gently caress it before going to tender again. Internet Explorer posted:And how much did they pay the consultants to implement? Jesus, that's awful. HPE has an 8 year contract to do IT systems for the ATO. It started in 2010 at $738M but has since ballooned to $1.2B so yeah that's what they charged them lol: https://www.tenders.gov.au/?event=public.CN.view&CNUUID=81E6BF0C-998E-8B80-D311E04D85837B19

I dunno if any other vendors do anything similar to RecoverPoint, but synchronous replication with journalling to allow recovery to any point in time is pretty great in situations like this ATO thing. I really miss working on EMC gear after doing EVA/3PAR for the last year or so.

Most do, yes (HP included), though whether or not the journaled or snapshot data is recoverable in that situation will depend on the file system design and where the corruption occurred.

Largely serves as a reminder that RAID (or a SAN) is not backup. If the SAN thinks the data is good it doesn't know to kill the primary and fail over to DR.

Not sure if any of you guys are using Cisco's DCNM SAN client, but there is a real nice bug in 10.1.1. Keep a known good copy of your server.properties file located in the \Cisco Systems\dcm\fm\conf directory. Something is corrupting the file, which will prevent DCNM from launching correctly.
