| − | * Project Leader Notes | + | ** SAN Simulator contribution: |
| − | ** Aperi webcast planning meeting to be held on Wednesday at 11: | + | *** We have a request for another code contribution. The IBM Research folks have been working on a storage area network (SAN) simulator tool, which can be used for testing storage resource management solutions, and they would like to contribute it to the Aperi Storage Management project. |
| − | * Release Engineer Notes (Todd) | + | ***This 'SAN Simulator' simulates a storage area network environment through software. The simulator will allow the user to create a SAN configuration, add devices to the SAN, create arbitrary connections between devices and remove connections between devices. Since most devices today expose their services through a CIMOM, the simulator will create CIM instances based on user specifications. The simulator will generate various profiles defined by the SNIA. The SAN Simulator would add support in the test area of our Aperi Storage Management Project and would allow us to test against various vendors devices (that have their model changes incorporated into the simulator). |
| − | ** Build status: | + | *** The simulator uses a CIM/SMI-S standard model. There is a database with a very simple schema to store the management information of a device. There are two approaches in which CIM based information of a device is persisted into the database: 1) generated by the SAN Simulator based on user specification or 2) copied into the database via the snapshot mechanism of SAN Simulator. Once the data is available in the database, it is manipulated in the database based on CIM requests. These providers are pluggable into any popular open source CIMOM. |
| + | *** The SAN Simulator and the providers are written in Java. The CIMOM used is the Sun Java WBEM CIMOM. Either DB2 or Derby can be used as the database. A tool is also included to assist the user install and drive through the steps. It is approximately 10K lines of code. | ||
| + | *** Does anyone in the community have an objection to this contribution? | ||
| + | **** Simona mentioned that she had tried to use the SAN Simulator and the documentation was not complete. It turns out that she was using a tool from alphaWorks and it is not the tool in question here. | ||
| + | *** If there are no issues with this contribution by end of business on Wednesday, May 9th, the Eclipse process for contributing code will be started. | ||

| + | *** Dave mentioned that we need to put together a process around builds for IDVT. *** LESSONS LEARNED ITEM*** During IDVT, we need to have one person responsible for the builds and a quick ‘acceptance’ test needs to be done for each platform. The goal would be to create scripst to do automatic builds and then automatic installs on all operating systems to bring the product up. Then, an automatic note would be sent to the coordinator or the mailing list with the status. We should implement this for R0.4. Dave would also like to see more formality around our release processes. Tom to add a task for R0.4 for this for a couple of PW’s. | ||
