Dev/Test Environment Overview

Current Storage Hardware: –Sun Enterprise 420R server –4 400 Mhz processors –4 Gb RAM –2 Compaq HBA fibre channel host bus adapters –2 Compaq 8-port fibre channel switches –Compaq EMA12000 storage array –Compaq EMA16000 storage array Software: Compaq Secure Path Veritas Volume Manager Rsync Approx. 6 Tb Raw storage As of February 19, 2003, fs104's usage is as follows: Total usable storage capacity: 2879 GB Total allocated to filesystems: 2404 GB (84% of total usable capacity) Total space in use: 1764 GB (61% of total usable capacity) Free space: 404 GB (14% of total usable capacity)

Current Storage (cont’d.) Shortcomings of current storage Failover to mirror server is time consuming Single point of failure 420R platform cannot scale Ports on fibre channel switch are utilized Volume of storage has outgrown existing replication and backup solutions

Storage Upgrade Solution Upgrade Goals Increase server Fault Tolerance Increase server performance Provide scalability for server and SAN Server Solution Sun Fire V-480 Platforms MHz processors 4 GB RAM scalable to MHz processors and 32 GB Ram SAN Upgrade Upgrade fibre channel switch to 32 port Cluster Solution Veritas Cluster Server Replication Solution Veritas Volume Replicator Backup Solution Veritas Flash Snap Veritas Flash Backup
