Scientific Computing Services has acquired the hardware and software for a development GPFS parallel file system. Installation and setup of this development environment will begin this month, with GPFS software testing to commence soon thereafter. This will enable SCS team members to learn how to use GPFS to manage future disk storage for SLAC's scientific community.
Scientific Computing Services completed its work to support the IPv6 project. This included adding IPv6 configuration support to the configuration management system and adding IPv6 support to SLAC's outgoing DNS servers. This moves SLAC toward compliance with the DOE mandate for IPv6 readiness.
