[gpfsug-discuss] Hello

[Mcneil, Tony]

Hello All,

Thank you for admitting me to the discussion group, I work at Kingston University within the 'Hosting Services Team'

We have recently implemented a 17 node GPFS 3.5.0.20 cluster that serves Samba 4.1.12, the Cluster is configured with 2 failure domains and is located across 2 physical campus's, with a quorum desc disk located at a 3rd site.

The intention is to provide a single namespace for all university unstructured data, the cluster is joined to our AD environment and provisions the home directories for all staff and students (45000+) accounts and will be the repository for all shared data.

So far we have migrated all our students and approximately 60% of our staff.

Looking forward to receiving some interesting posts from the forum.

Regards
Tony.
