Hi Richard,
               It was evening when I got your message, so keep in mind it is a global list. I'm based in Australia and joined the list yesterday after attending the SC15 User Group meeting. Your message is the first I've had arrive in my inbox.

We (organisation details in my signature below) have a GPFS scratch filesystem for our HPC clusters that has been running for a year and is only now being eased into production. It's running 4.1.0.6. We also have a 4.1.1.2 POC system running on a VM with an LTSF backend. There are plans to use GPFS to provide a highly available NFS service as well.

Also looking forward to seeing how others are using Spectrum Scale in anger.

Cheers,

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] Introduction

Good morning all,

I'm  Richard and work in the storage team at Imperial College London. We've had a GPFS/CTDB/Samba cluster for over a year where research group data can be stored. Other responsibilities include Cisco UCS, the storage, some IBM filers and other general datacentre related activities.

I've been subscribed to this list for over a year but due to sever user error I haven't seen any emails from it until now... I did think it was a bit quiet!

Looking forward to seeing more real world problems and fixes surrounding GPFS especially as we begin to plan our upgrade from 3.5 to 4.x (whichever is stable and available).

Richard
