Storage projects update

I'm happy to report that the second AFS RAID array was installed onto the SAN in the PUP building and now all of UMBC's user home directories, email storage, and most of the UMBC web content is mirrored across two buildings. This is a huge step for data survivability.

I also installed two new Sun StorEdge 3511 arrays onto the SAN, one in ECS and the other in PUP. Like the AFS RAID arrays, these two will provide mirrored redundancy for Blackboard, Oracle, and MySQL data. The Blackboard servers are on the SAN, too, and next week that stuff will be moved onto those disks.

To come: Research storage arrays will be added to the SAN as well. These will provide several terabytes of storage purely for research projects being conducted on various UMBC clusters as well as hercules and titan. This storage will be served out via NFS to those requiring it.
