Today I moved the volumes being served by bfs5.afs.umbc.edu to bfs1.afs, a new Sun V20z which is connected to our Core Storage Fabric which has 1TB of mirrored disk online. This removes one more of the old Gen 2 linux AFS servers from our machine room.
Next week, the contents of bfs3.afs will be moved to bfs1, allowing us to turn off bfs3 and its multiple A5200 JBOD arrays in an effort to conserve power and reduce the cooling load for the ECS data center.
