Wide Area Networked File System

By -
Traditional networked file systems like NFS do not extend to wide-area due to network latency and dynamics introduced in the WAN environment. To address that problem, a wide-area networked file system is based on a traditional networked file system (NFS/CIFS) and extends to the WAN environment by introducing a file redirector infrastructure residing between the central file server and clients.

The file redirector infrastructure is invisible to both the central server and clients so that the change to NFS is minimal. That minimizes the interruption to the existing file service when deploying WireFS on top of NFS. The system includes an architecture for an enterprise-wide read/write wide area network file system, protocols and data structures for metadata and data management in this system, algorithms for history based prefetching for access latency minimization in metadata operations, and a distributed randomized algorithm for the implementation of global LRU cache replacement scheme.

How to deal with PSOD - VMware PSOD Purple Screen of Death - Debugger waiting (world 2078) -- no port for remote debugger. "Escape" for local debugger - Easy troubleshooting steps and how to identify or determine exact root cause of the PSOD issue Host is down with PSOD with the above said error. Verified BIOS settings, worked with on site engineer, contacted the IBM server support (since this is IBM server, have contacted IBM, if it is IBM or some other hardware, you may need to reach out the respective vendor) Sometimes it could be server hardware issue like DIMMs, CPU, Processor related or may be a chance of network related. Please have a through check on the above said and come to a conclusion what could the issue. Based on that, need to troubleshoot the issue.

If you are planning to replace the system board (Mother Board) for M4 series of IBM xSeries 3650 model server, you should and must take the activation keys backup, otherwise you will miss the IMM key. IMM key something like iLO Activation key on HP servers. If that  iLO key didn't acivated, then you won't get the 'Remote Access' option. In the same way, IBM series requires a key to be activated to access the IMM console. IMM Activation to be backuped and restore once the new board get replaced. Here is the screenshot there you see more options what we discussed so far -
