<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some of you had questions to my original post. More information:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Source:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- Files are straight GPFS/Posix - no extended NFSV4 ACLs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- A solution that requires $’s to be spent on software (ie, Aspera) isn’t a very viable option<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- Both source and target clusters are in the same DC<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- Source is stand-alone NSD servers (bonded 10g-E) and 8gb FC SAN storage<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- Approx 40 file systems, a few large ones with 300M-400M files each, others smaller<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- no independent file sets<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- migration must pose minimal disruption to existing users<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Target architecture is a small number of file systems (2-3) on ESS with independent filesets<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">- Target (ESS) will have multiple 40gb-E links on each NSD server (GS4)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My current thinking is AFM with a pre-populate of the file space and switch the clients over to have them pull data they need (most of the data is older and less active) and them let AFM populate the rest
in the background.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
