[gpfsug-discuss] Demo

[Jaime Pinto]

Make a clear distinction between the hardware and the software layers  
to start with.
Then between server infrastructure and client infrastructure (and  
licensing requirements)

NSD Servers, Protocol Servers, disks, LUNs, HW raid if any,  
configuration of the storage building blocks, NSD fail-over, etc

hardware raid vs. software raid vs, appliances

File system managers, cluster manager, clients addition/setup, FSmgr  
fail-over, Quorum, etc
File system creation, clustered vs. scattered, FS attributes,  
blocksize, capacity expansion/shrinkage, etc.

Fileset creation, junction linking, mounting, exportfs, protocol nodes.

storage cluster vs. compute cluster
snapshot, quota, (backup?), .....

For me there are areas/subjects that belong together, and a logic in  
the unveiling of features.

I would be interested in the end result

Thanks
Jaime
