Activity Report August 2008
25 08 2008- We installed 2 new disk array enclosures and 2 new fiber channel switches into the BlueArc environment to expand existing capacity.
- I optimized the cloning scripts for the i2k tape library data in order to speed up cloning time. Cloning is now organized such that each thread will completely clone all data available to clone on a single tape before moving onto the next tape. This should decrease time added to the cloning procedure by loading and unloading tapes.
- We’ve been plagued by a couple of issues with our tape drives on the new i2k. A firmware upgrade appears to have fixed the issue.
- We are continuing to work on the VTL evaluation. The hardware install has been completed. We are now coordinating with EMC to get software resources to complete configuration so that we can test the VTL in our environment.
- I have continued to investigate any client failing backups within our environment and determining causes so that we can have as complete a backup of all of our systems as possible.
- Operational activities have consumed the remainder of my time.
