basic-design:
create a datavault-storage abstraction system "data-as-a-service"
start-simple: "grow-as-you-go"
1 icat-server (icat-service + postgresql database local vsan)
OS: CentOS7
3 resource-servers (with 2 local mounts each)
3 datacenters
2 replica's of data
1 replica in 1 datacenter, other replica in other datacenter
- encrypt storage (because cloudstorage)
- all servers are esx vm's (rug-cloud)
- all storage is vmware datastore (rug-cloud)
- all irods-servers/clients connect via SSL
- authentication via ldap
connection from peregrine to irods-servers is 10 Gb ethernet
irods-lingo:
icat-server: server containing metadata database
irods-resource-server: server with mountpoint storing data
provider: icat-server
consumer: irods-resource server
collections: directories
objects: files
local-lingo:
peregrine: our HPC cluster in Groningen
irods installation on centos7 2019:
the icat-server:
- basic/normal configuration
- disable selinux
- enable/configure firewall
- set/enable ntpd

backup-strategy:
july 2019:
- icat: daily dump of pg-database to /var/backups/ daily backup to our tivoli TSM system
- resc-servers: daily backup of /mnt/vol<number>/Vault/Trash/ to our tivoli TSM system
so we only backup the trash! Which is most of the time the data users want back after error-deletion

Future work:
2019-07-03 15:23:34 +02:00
- clean up the trash regularly (script?)
2019-07-03 14:13:07 +02:00
- build more irods environments/playgrounds to learn/test/play/fun
- set up auditing (ampq with ELK stack backend)
- set a performance baseline
- find out user needs (budget, storage, performance)
- create replication-check-scripts (check/pinpoint/report missing replica's)
- do some disaster drills/scenario's
- create 2 resource servers in irods on datahandeling nodes (Lustre backend, IB network, direct connected to peregrine)
- performance testing (what will be the current bottleneck?)
- adding more icat-servers (behind F5 loadbalancer) connected to a separate database(cluster) (icat-scaleing)
- create landingzone on peregrine (for irods to pick up files automated)
- compute-to-data, data-to-compute testing
- irods-hpc-testing: integration metadata BeeGFS, integration metadata Lustre, let iRODS read changelogs@metadata
- storage-tiering: tape-archive
- test out this new iput-on-steriods for HPC performance testing/differences
- test with S3 object store as storage-backends (big-data-not-on-filesytem, but big-data-object-storage)
