Hi all, This is the text for the "SysAdmin" Persona (Sam), presented a few minutes ago.
Trying to think of how to specify needs/wants, but nothing's coming to mind. Any suggestions? + Justin ************************************************************** Sysadmin Persona: Sam Personal background ******************* * Sam is a 35 year old male from Hanoi, Vietnam, who migrated to east coast US about 10 years ago. * He is the sole breadwinner in his family, happily married to his wife of 8 years, and has a 3 year old child. * Sam works as the Aeolus SysAdmin for "T-Bone", a large monopoly style Telco in his area. * He previously worked on Enterprise Class Solaris Systems for many years, and moved to working with Linux (mostly RHEL), a few years ago. Environment *********** * "T-Bone" has dedicated NAS, SAN and network teams, with a 2 week+ (min) turn around time for requests. * Aeolus runs on a single server in this environment, a dual cpu (2 x quad core) HP DL380 with 24 GB RAM, and 2TB of local RAID 0 SATA storage. * Aeolus is hooked up to a small vSphere 5.x cluster. vCenter is running on a server identical to the Aeolus one, and 4 x hosts (also HP DL 380's) with 96GB RAM and 4TB of shared NetApp storage (a fast NAS). * Sam's team also use Aeolus with EC2, for giving their partners access to selected builds of their applications, for testing and qualification (not prod). * The Aeolus environment is used by the developers in a part of T-Bone's business and government division. About 40 people. * The standard development platform the developers write for is RHEL 6.x, JBoss (various releases), and Oracle 10g/11g. * NetBackup is the enterprise backup solution, so Sam wrote custom shell scripts to do backups of Aeolus nightly. They don't back up generated Aeolus images, but do backup up everything else (Aeolus state, XML templates, etc). * Sam has a ToDo list item to investigate RHEV, and has been toying around with oVirt on a spare desktop box. Not in depth with it yet. Needs / wants ************* * ??? ************************************************************** -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org
