NOTE: SEE Infrastructure Renewal Plan for more up to date plan


Otherwise called FFCBP. This is a plan written by Siracha (s23adhik) to transition all of csc's storage from New Netapp to a full flash array, with everything being centralized and backed up.

Phase 1: Migrating off of New Netapp (Complete)

Connect a donated server (Dell R730 from CSCF) to the disk shelves in E7, and get them all connected. Then setup a zfs array and move over the entire /users directory to the server.

This part has been completed, and the server was named Ranch.

Phase 2: UPS replacement & beginning flash storage acquisition

The UPS in rack E7, which powers the disk shelves is in a degraded state and will only last a few minutes in case of a power outage. Hence it needs to be replaced, will be getting a 4kw, or a 5kw UPS because we also want to put essential services onto this new UPS.

On another note, when the M4 move occurs, we likely wont need to worry about UPS's anymore?
