Hi, im thinking there is not much logical difference between a SAN and NAS in a small business environment. For example, say i have a file server which connects to a SAN. I have a number of drives defined in the array and then expose these drives and share them through samba. Now my network users...

I am in the process of reconfiguring the drives on my SAN to be more productive, and I am unsure about one of my configuration options. Due to the way the controllers are arranged and RAID requirements, I will have three arrays available. All these arrays will have plenty of space for storing our...

I'm getting stuck trying to figure out how to recover from a USB mass storage "error". This is for "bulk only" protocol. The root problem is that the RTOS we use is returning errors when they don't really exist and terminating transfers in the middle. I think I can fix that problem, but in...

I was wondering if people are using this for managing EMC sans. I know a few companies which dropped the product after realizing that it was impossible to provision multiple luns easily and they still needed to buy EMC storage scope to look at the performance of the SAN. They also had serious...

Hi I want a disk (SCSI) which is bad, (ie, read() (disk driver) on that disk should retry sufficient times before returning error). Under what conditions disk driver retries on a bad disk. Is it bad block read or something else ? How to create such a condition in a good disk ? ie, how to make a...

Hi, I've been looking about at various scsi hard drives and controllers with the intent of buying one for my work desktop, the task is going to require alot of repeated disk access so the quicker the better so i've assumed that a 15,000rpm Ultra320 type is my best bet.

I need to give a presentation on the benefits of AIX vs Solaris. Can everyone share your thoughts. Keep in mind that I`m not looking to dismiss either platform, I think they both work very well with specific databases, storage and apps. Thoughts please! Thanks
