From: June Mullins (junemullins, earthlink dot net) Date: 2001.10.28 - 12.40 MST
Since we're meeting on Tuesday, I thought it was about time I got around to
making the updates we talked about last Tuesday. Please check em out.
I didn't do anything about the focus issue. We talked about the fact
the the
document describes the general Antera architecture, but doesn't say much
about the archiving appliance we are actually focussing on building.
That's
because the architecture is much more general, and is really independent of
any particular application. However, the general focus means we don't say
anything about particular tools, such as HSM support code; and we don't
really say much about archiving at all. Is this satisfactory????
I assume we're meeting at 1:30 again. Does anyone want to change the time?
Would it be more convenient if we met earlier or later?
Remember other unresolved issues from last meeting:
- Is there a problem with timeouts when we need to restore a file from
tape? Do we block on open,
and wait until the entire file is restored? Do we block on read, and
wait only until we can satisfy the
read?
- Can we (should we) take advantage of HSM-aware applications?
- Do we need dynamically expandable storage? With RAID protection?
- Would it be reasonable to require the customer to have a tape library
with more than one tape drive?
Two tape drives would be useful for autorestore during disaster recovery.
- We need to know more about what the different management policies
would be.
- What do we want to build for a prototype?
