Hi,


We have here around 2PB GPFS where users access oney through GPFS client (used by an HPC cluster), but we will have to setup protocols nodes.


We will have to share GPFS data to ~ 1000 users, where each users will have different access usage, meaning:


- some will do large I/O (e.g: store 1TB files)

- some will read/write more than 10k files in a raw

- other will do only sequential read


I already read the following wiki page:

But I wondering if some people have recommendations regarding hardware sizing and software tuning for such situation ?

Or better, if someone already such setup ?


Thank you by advance,

Frank.
