  1. AFS: What is everyone doing? LISA GIACCHETTI Operating Systems Support

  2. Current Production Status • Servers: • Platform • AFS distribution and version • Clients: • Platforms • AFS distribution

  3. What are you testing? • Servers: • Platforms • Linux? • AFS distributions and versions • Clients • Platforms • OpenAfs on Solaris, Irix,etc… • AFS distributions and versions

  4. Support • Local support structure • Number of people compared to size of cell • Does you site actively participate in OpenAfs • If so how many FTEs does this take • Does your site provide local management tools • IBM Transarc support • Are sites still using it? • Extended support? • Third party vendor support?

  5. COMPUTING NEWS: FARMS • Farms team building various utilities to manage large numbers of worker nodes *NOTE: More detail in talk presented 04/04/00 • Several other organizations looking into Linux Farms • QCD: 1000+ nodes • BTeV: 5000+ nodes • CMS: analysis/build linux “cluster” and compute farms • Need to investigate racked integrated 2U systems

  6. COMPUTING NEWS:AFS • Stability is the key: • AFS services continues to be very stable • 4Q99 upgrades: • Hardware upgrades to several servers • AFS 3.5 • Solaris 2.6 • Hardware Raid deployed • Distribution of AFS for desktops increasing • Utilizing central login and products service • Linux client available in standard release of FRHL 6.1

  9. COMPUTING NEWS:MISCELLANEOUS • Computing Division is investigating backup utilities • Eval of freeware product Amanda underway • Eval of Legato underway (especially interesting for Oracle) • What are others doing? • Computing Division is investigating LabView for Linux. (Is anyone else doing this?)
