  • Initial call for institutional disk space need made on 2011/06/01 - only couple days for feedback (requirements total is needed immediately as agreed with the facility director). Provided feedback insofar

      • 2011/06/06 16:14: BNL      + 5 TB

2011/06 - FY11 procurement Status

  • Requirements turn to the RCF on 2011/06/09 - institutions in blue above were included but institution in red was NOT (for obvious date reason)
  • Purchase for the Linux farm went out on the 10th
  • Requests for storage quotes went out on the 13th
    • Any other requests will need to be re-addressed at a later time: 2x 26 TB cabinets were ordered exceeding the storage request from STAR of 36 TB total for FY11

Central space (prod) 10.00 345.00 2.90% 377.00 -8.49%

* ATTENTION: Note-A: deficit assumes a similar run plan - U+U was suggested for FY11 ; Note-B: increase in number of events is not helping; Note-C: if we are lucky and size / events is smaller than projected, the distributed disk may be fine.
