Today I finshed my research storage project and added a little bonus to it.
Our two research servers, hercules.rs and titan, have been using NFS mounts from ds1.rs for the last several years to store large files associated with the various projects of users of those two machines. ds1.rs was a Dell PE1750 with a PowerVault attached to it with a total space of around 375GB. ds2.rs replaces this with a Sun X4100 running Solaris 10 06/06 with ZFS connected to two Apple Xserve RAIDs and has a total of 4.2TB online.
The bonus is that I also installed a ADS-cabable Samba server on ds2.rs, so peoples' research volumes can also be made available to Windows workstations over SMB/CIFS as well as NFS. Very cool!
Rob is now in the process of moving the RS NIS map server from ds1.rs to ds2, and after that, the old ds1.rs will replace our old cobbled-together USENET news server (yes, we still offer USENET news here :)
