Hello All, One of the areas which slows adoption is the lack of detail in some of the documentation. Particularly on how to get started. I propose a series of surveys which will begin to document "acceptable practice" to help new installations get started and to gather the collective wisdom of the sages.
Towards that end, I would like to propose a storage survey. If you wouldn't mind, please reply with the following information and I will collate and create a wiki page. Site: [optional] Type: [e.g., direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS), storage-area network (SAN), other] Protocol: [e.g., NSF, CIFS, etc for NAS; SCSI, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, FCoE, etc for SAN; RAID-level; etc.] Image count: Supported users: Amount used/total: [useful in computing amount/image, amount/user etc.] Deployment status: [e.g., prototype, pilot, production, etc.] Comments: [whatever else you feel we ought to know; what you would do next time, your recommendations, etc.] Note: besides thinking this is important for documentation, I am gathering information to prepare an imminent budget request to "do it right" and hence would appreciate a prompt response.
