<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are currently building a 3 site spectrum scale solution where data is going to be generated at two different sites (Site A and Site B, Site C is for archiving/backup) and then archived on site three.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have however not worked with AFM much so I was wondering if there is someone who knows how to configure AFM to have all data generated in a file-set automatically being copied to an offsite.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">GPFS AFM is not an option because of latency between sites so NFS AFM is going to be tunneled between the site via WAN.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As of now we have tried to set up AFM but it only transfers data from home to cache when a prefetch is manually started or a file is being opened, we need all files from home to go to cache as soon as it is generated
or at least after a little while. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It does not need to be synchronous it just need to be automatic.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m not sure if attachments will be available in this thread but I have attached the concept of our design.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Basically the setup is :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Site A:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Owns “fileset A1” which needs to be replicated to Site B “fileset A2” the from Site B to Site C “fileset A3”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Site B:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Owns “fileset B1” which needs to be replicated to Site C “fileset B2”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Site C: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Holds all data from Site A and B “fileset A3 & B2”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We do not need any sites to have failover functionality only a copy of the data from the two first sites.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If anyone knows how to accomplish this I would be glad to know how!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have been looking into switching the home and cache site so that data is generated at the cache sites which will trigger GPFS to transfer the files to home as soon as possible but as I have little to no experience
with AFM I don’t know what happens to the cache site over time, does the cache site empty itself after a while or does data stay there until manually deleted?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
