File Server

Hardware

  • mac mini
  • external Promise RAID arrays, configured as extendable disk, so can just add more storage as needed.
  • probably located in lab (close to VAX machines)

File server service

  • NFS for calculation macs, hopefully for VMS
  • Windows file server for Windows machines, and if necessary for VMS
  • ssh server for remote access
  • need to test performance of network disk access for calculation machines - will depend on software (i.e. amount of IO compared with other tasks)

Accounts

  • User authentication provided to other computers, but only calculation macs

Subversion

  • subversion repository.
  • trac for subversion respository (login required).

XGrid

  • If we find it is useful and easy to set up and maintain.

Backup

  • backup array probably in Steve's office
  • dedicated mac mini for backup? or use an existing computer?

Other Comments

  • not to be used as a workstation (maximum stability and reliability for file server)
