Just a bump for the London crowd. With the recent IBM scrobbling of Cleversafe, this will be a very interesting opportunity to see what RedHat and Dell think about the future direction of object storage. Oh, and free beer. And sexy engineers. You know the drill. Get signed up. Bring your storage nerds. ;-) -- On 24/10/15 08:58, Peter Smith wrote:

Hey all,
We've got two Oracle ZS3-2s set up at two different locations, and we were looking into data sharing/syncing----essentially we want to have projects, directories, files, etc. synced between the two locations, so if a version is updated in one place, it is reflected in the other. We were looking at Panzura, but any suggestions? Anyone have two studios sharing film projects? |

Choosing a conf managment tool for a Windows / Mac Envrionment | ||||||

We have a mixed Mac and Windows envrionment here, with our Windows side already having a python/yaml based pipeline for Maya and Nuke setup, and I am looking to deploy a CM tool for managing it all. After doing some research it seems that the top choices would be Ansible, Salt, or Chef, and I was hoping to hear from others on their experiences with working with any of them in a mixed envronment, or any reasons to choose one over the others. Here's my basic overview of them: Ansible would be the easiest to deploy and use, since it also uses python/yaml and is agentless. However, it apparently is lacking in the introspection, logging, and documentation department compared to Salt and Chef. Also, couldn't find many people talking about using it with specifically Windows, so I don't know how it performs with Windows or what its limitations might be. Can also be relatively slow in performance. |

| Michael, Another option is Puppet. They support both Windows and OS X. One example of a project that leverages this is Managed Mac from SFU. They use hiera and yaml and puppet and it seems to work for their Mac management needs. More info here: -x

We are trying to with various levels of success. The managedmac implementation is not complete so we cannot set VNC access for example. We only install munki with puppet and then munki installs everything else. The homebrew module has some issues as well. It mostly works though. We are OSX/Linux, have not tried with windows.

Is this still the case, or does this managedmac library solve that? -- Greg Dickie 514-983-5400 just a guy |
Mount share drives with AD credentials | ||||||

Hi All, I was looking for a solution using Centos 6.5 mount samba share drives with AD credentials. Not really sure what would be easiest way to do it. The idea is to allow user to have access to several share drives wich whould mounted under /mnt dir using theirs AD details. Idea to put credentials in to the file and mount via fstab is not an option, since several users will be using the same machine and passwords have expiration date. I would really appreciate any information. Cheers! T.

SoCal SSAers, You are invited to join us at the next Max Q LA meetup on Dec. 3, 2015, 5-8PM. Max Q LA is a Qumulo user group. However, you don't need to be a current Qumulo customer to join - VM/hardware eval'ers, and enthusiasts are welcome! To RSVP, follow this URL: For our Q4 '15 meetup, we'll be converging at the Sony Digital Motion Picture Center (10202 West Washington Blvd, Stage 7) on Dec 3 at 5PM. On the agenda, we've got a roadmap update from Qumulo VP of Product, Jeff Cobb, and an interactive API lab run by our Developer Advocate, Michael Murray. Of course, there will be plenty of time to mingle, enjoy food and beverages (provided by Qumulo), and we'll have a live cluster as well as VMs to play with. If you wish to participate in the API lab activity, check the corresponding box on the RSVP, and watch out for more info and documentation as the event nears. Looking forward to seeing you there! Lastly, if you are interested in presenting anything to the group, or have any questions about the meetup, please contact anh@qumulo.com. Thanks, Anh P.S. I'd like to stress that this is a technical user group, not a sales/marketing event - as such, no Qumulo account reps or marketing staff will be present. |

I've got two identical machines running Windows 8.1 Pro, same Windows updates, connected to ports on the same switch. One has no problems talking to HTTP servers, the other one does. On the one that works fine, I see the expected behavior of a graceful TCP connection shutdown initiated by the http server:HTTP Server -> FIN, ACK Bad Client -> ACK Bad Client -> [SYN] No attempted has been made to tweak TCP Delayed Ack on either machine. |
