19. Network Infrastructure

20. Issues Network infrastructure Split edge level serving T1 MSS and T2 DPM disk servers Rotation shift +1 FTE 24x7 operation Review instruction manuals Regular meeting between OSE (shifters) and SM Evaluate performance (eLog, and ticket escalated) Release upgrade Consider gradually core service upgrade Recommend components to startup? Mimic on CTB

21. Incidents Power surge cause critical services crash twice last 4month Disk, tape servers, RAC and all core services Tape migration problem (CMS) Wrong label type (0.2k cartridges) Relabel empty tapes Controller failures no regular pattern - kernel dump at f/w level archiver log error 4T for SRM and CASTOR backup (1.6T/week) New backup scratch attach to SAN

22. Upcoming expansion 1K LTO4 cartridges + 11 LTO4 drives Move to different datacenter area. Tape system HA setup Vdqm2 Priority and better group reservation Evaluate platform for RAC NFS base on NAS 2nd Tier backup Regular restore practices (2nd backup on disk cache) TSM setup complete, POC continue end of Nov.
