Group Meeting, September 1

Future SAN Team agendas: 9/13 FLARE 30
SAN Team is Unix (Pete Brokaw, Dave Bronder, One More), Windows (Guy Falsetti, Tom Kneese, Kevin Keyser), and IDDM (Bill Knight, John Kane, One More). It is a mid-tier for the Storage Group to advertise upgrades that the groups then propagate to their customers. Somestimes, it is needed to upgrade servers with software, administered by the Storage Group, and is then coordinated through this team.
  • FLARE 30: Migration to Upgrade PowerPath, New Service Taskbar. Unix and Windows groups security concerns and vendor documentation is not good. The Storage Group uses the software (Control Agent) from EMC, but it needs to be installed by the groups due to admin authorization.
Outbound proxy
Set up a proxy to resolve outside links to upgrade expanded functions of Red Hat Linux, Fedora, for example. Use its own VM; Seth will use "Squid" to do it. Mark has already used it on his machine.

Infrastructure day
Mark: Move from 62 (CIFS) to 41 (VMWare) can be done on the fly and we should be able to do it soon.

EqualLogic disk upgrades
EqualLogic needs more disks -- Exchange has received more space, more than what we actually have currently, so if they wanted to use all of it, they couldn't.
