[gpfsug-discuss] Self service creation of filesets

[Simon Thompson]

Not quite user self-service ....

But we have some web tooling for project registration that pushes sanitised messages onto a redis (rq) backed message bus which then does "stuff". For example create and populate groups in AD and LDAP. Create and link a fileset, set quota etc ... Our consumer code is all built to be tolerant to running it a second time safely and has quite a bit of internal locking to prevent multiple instances running at the same time (though we have multiple consumer entities to handle fail-over). The fault tolerant thing is quite important as create a fileset can fail for a number of reasons (e.g. restripefs running), so we can always just requeue the requests again.

    Hi all

    We are trying to use filesets quite a bit, but it’s a hassle that only the admins can create them. To the users it’s just a directory so it slows things down. Has anyone deployed a self service model for creating filesets? Maybe using the API? This feels like shared pain that someone has already worked on….

    thanks
    Russell
