The space currently uses a lot of old, power hungry hardware and could be optimised by the addition of a small amount of money to refresh the infrastructure. This page stands to collect the ideas on how and what to do with performing this task.

Netapp

The Netapp storage has been identified as a power consuming piece of hardware. It is also FAILING STEADILY so this is important to upgrade!

Usage

This machine is primarily used for NFS mounts across the infrastructure.

Replacement

  • The0 has a 3u case/machine with 12 disk hardware RAID controller with brackets but without disks in it that might make a good replacement.
  • We could construct a JBOD and do software RAID - using the an ASROCK c2750d4i is a good starting point.

Questions

  • What type of FS do we want? (ext4, XFS, ZFS)
  • Can we do HA somehow?
