To some extent this is an update to a RecoverPoint API Hello World post I did awhile back. First, a link to the github repo.
This is a very simple script. It loops through a list of RecoverPoint clusters (which you define separately in rp-systems.config), executing REST API queries to get a full list of Consistency Groups, Copies, and Journal Retention stats for those copies. It then outputs all this data as a CSV.
Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I submitted a paper to EMC World called Service-Oriented Storage Tiering: A 2014 Approach to a 2004 Problem. It was based on some work I did with a customer to create a storage service catalog with discrete SLAs. At this point it's been an implemented thing in their environment for about four years, so I thought it would be interesting to revisit the work and talk about things we've learned and changes that have come over time.
This is based on the experiences of an actual customer, so there are a lot of points where I'm going to describe things qualitatively rather than quantitatively.
Let's say you've written a few billion Centera Clips via the CAS protocol to an object platform (like Atmos, Centera, or ECS) and you want to verify that they, y'know, exist. This post is about a version 1.0 of how to do that. Consider it a Hello World tutorial for the Centera SDK.
This past week I dusted off my five year old copy of O'Reilly's Learning Android, dove into the new tutorials for Android Studio, and built myself an Android App. The App? A dice pool calculator for a Legacy board game called Seafall. If you want to follow along with the discussion in code, check out the Github page for seafall-helper.
I spent two days out at Dell EMC World in Austin last week. This was my first time attending what (until the recent acquisition) was a legacy Dell conference. As an old-time storage nerd, I tried to take the opportunity to expand my comfort zone and learn about enterprise servers.
This post is part of a set with notes on my favorite sessions from the Eleventh HOPE.
On Friday afternoon, Matt Blaze and Sandy Clark gave a talk about Crypto War II.
This post will be one of a handful with notes on the Eleventh HOPE conference.
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I joined a packed crowd in the Noether room on the 18th floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania to see Scott Erven and Adam Brand discuss the state of healthcare security in a talk entitled "Medical Devices: Pwnage and Honeypots". The info itself was A+. The state of healthcare security - eh, going to have to give that a D or an F, but there are signs that it's on the right trajectory.
You've got an application which has a flow that looks something like this:
Every one of those steps takes some time. To improve user experience, it probably makes more sense to go after the step that takes 5 seconds than the one that takes 0.5 seconds. But how do you know?
"I think I'll take an hour to listen back to the recording of this webex meeting" -- Literally no one ever
As the saying goes: The first chip will cost you a billion dollars. Every one after that is free.
