Re: Other distro ports
Just an update, we are running on RHEL/Rocky 9.x now. The movement off 7.x and Mariadb 5.5 means we now have to support Mariadb10, which was not inconsequential. In addition to changing tuning variables, the name and location of configuration files also changed, as did the entire backup/restore para...

You will need to load this table for extension lookup
Under the menu for creating 'File Filter', under 'New', one option is to create a 'Filter Template'. A filter template is a list of file extensions that create a list of matching files by type. The idea is you can for example create a template for office type documents by selecting the category of a...

Important note on file provenance and GDG
Generation Data Groups (GDG), aka versioning are necessary for data protection - specifically the ability to "rewind" a file back to a prior state. It's important to know that the concept is based on a file's kernel handle which is assigned when the file is first created. As long as the ke...

Other distro ports
We're interested in what is the most popular next release candidates OS-wise. I have a team member working on RHEL8 now, it is problematic but once done it should make the next port easier. The reason it isn't coming along in a straight forward manner is we rely on the original Sun ONC RPC library w...

Errata
Errata: Some notes on things that should be there but aren't (yet). Number 1 is we don't handle rm and mv events, because they only exist in 5.0 and later kernels. We started with RHEL and Centos because they seemed the most likely distro's that would run on enterprise systems and want enterprise su...

ACSLS Large Library Support
For our prospective enterprise users who may be wondering if we can drive the really big libraries like the SL8500 class ATL's from Oracle, the answer is yes. These libraries use an Automate Cartridge System Library Server (ACSLS) that implements and RPC library of functions (this follows the IEEE M...

Don't use these yet
There are a number of things you will see in the community release that lay somewhere between 'not yet implemented' to 'not yet adequately tested' here is the list as it stands today: Stay away from freespace policy. We did a very simple implementation, and it worked when we tested it, but we barely...

Basics of DMI and the scripting
Last January I had the task of creating a test environment for SMS. I wanted it to be flexible enough to perform both synthetic benchmarks (the type that simulate real work) as well as profiling benchmarks (these separate workload by process for optimization purposes). I also wanted a framework for ...

What is System Managed Storage?
What is System Managed Storage? In my basic description of the Catalog Data Service (you should read that first if you have not already), I referred to system processes that do tasks like moving data between different storage tiers based on business rules, as well as managing the off-site vaulting p...
