The complete list of features is listed on the Lustre 2.4 scope wiki and the community development wiki has been adjusted to reflect features that were candidates for 2.4 and now have become candidates for the 2.5 release. The highlights of the release are arguably those features which were called out on the community roadmap for Lustre 2.4. The status of these featiures is as follows: 1. OSD Restructuring: feature complete. Thanks to LLNL for funding this development work. This code has been running in production on Sequoia since October. 2. DNE Phase 1: feature complete. This allow scaling of metadata over multiple metadata servers. Thanks to OpenSFS for funding this development. 3. LFSCK MDT FID / LinkEA: feature complete. This feature provides the means to have online filesystem checks; fixes certain classes of corruptions; alerts admins of detected problems; and optimizes filesystems upgraded from 1.8.x releases. Thanks to OpenSFS for funding this development. 4. HSM: HSM client support complete. Congratulations to CEA for the huge steps towards getting this much-anticipated feature complete. When a Lustre release exists with the last few components of this it will be possible for a vanilla Lustre 2.4 client to interoperate with this release. 5. Network Request Scheduler: core functionality complete and two additional policies are expected to be landed shortly. Congratulations to Xyratex for completing this lengthy development. This feature creates a mechanism to allow policies to determine how to handle RPC requests. We will need to discuss any necessary updates to the community roadmap at the next CDWG meeting. As a reminder, could any development organization hoping to include features in the 2.5 release please ensure that this is communicated to us either directly or via the community development wiki page so that we can factor for this in our planning process and catch possible conflicts early. Please let me know if anything needs further clarification Thanks Peter From hamilton5 at llnl.gov Mon Feb 11 16:19:20 2013 From: hamilton5 at llnl.gov (Hamilton, Pam) Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:19:20 +0000 Subject: [cdwg] FW: OpenSFS Community Development WG call In-Reply-To: <0FDB26BEF446DE468FBDCFCA8D7205BE0143B7BAB266@NSPEXMBX-C.the-lab.llnl.gov> References: <0FDB26BEF446DE468FBDCFCA8D7205BE0143B7BAB266@NSPEXMBX-C.the-lab.llnl.gov> Message-ID: Hi all, We will have a Community Development WG call on Wednesday, February 13th, at 9am Pacific.

Xyratex regularly attend these calls and so will be able to bring this up when they feel that this work is ready to push upstream. Given that this is only now being raised for the first time it is clearly be too late for 2.4 but perhaps it will be an option for 2.5 Peter On 2/11/13 8:41 AM, "Alex Kulyavtsev" wrote: >My congratulations to CEA team on HSM client feature landing. > >Can we make similar argument "it will be possible for a vanilla Lustre >2.4 client to interoperate with this release" for kerberos feature and >land client patch made by Xyratex into stable release 2.4?

Discuss on cdwg mail list? This appears to just be a bug fix and not any kind of new feature request. The problem was that the patch is attached to the bug (where nobody will look at it) instead of in Gerrit. I've updated the bug with a link to the patch submission process wiki page, and hopefully the patch will be updated and submitted to Gerrit by one of the interested parties in a timely manner for inclusion into 2.4.

Today we are very excited to announce that Xyratex has purchased Lustre® and its assets from Oracle. We intend for Lustre to remain an open-source, community-driven file system to be promoted by our community organizations. We undertook the acquisition because we realize its importance to the entire community and we want to help ensure that it will continue to deliver for all of us over the long term. This is critically important to the growth and vitality of Lustre; it’s how it became what it is today, and it’s how it will deliver the most value in the future. Several members of the Lustre community have endorsed these plans and voiced their support of our purchase, and contributed quotes which were included in our announcement today. Special thanks to our two community leaders Hugo Falter with EOFS and Norm Morse with OpenSFS for their support to date and into the future as we work to further the collaboration around Lustre. Expect to hear more soon as we head into the 2013 Lustre User Group meeting in San Diego. http://www.opensfs.org/events/lug13/ It should be an exciting event! Best regards, Kevin P. Kevin Canady Director, Business Development Lustre and HPC Services kevin_canady at xyratex.com O: 510-687-5475 C: 415.505.7701 Xyratex Advances Lustre® Initiative, Assumes Ownership of Related Assets Xyratex plans to offer Lustre community and ClusterStor™ users significant value Havant, UK – Feb. 19, 2013 – Xyratex Ltd (Nasdaq: XRTX), a leading provider of data storage technology, today announced it plans to advance the global Lustre® portfolio by supporting the community-oriented development of Lustre as an open source file system and continuing to work in conjunction with the broader community to help chart the best path forward for this key technology. Xyratex has recently acquired the original Lustre trademark, logo, website and associated intellectual property from Oracle, and will assume responsibility for providing support to Lustre customers going forward. “Lustre is a powerful open source file system, and Xyratex strongly believes that all members of the Lustre community need to continue to play a part in the evolution of the code and the benefits it delivers over the long term,” said Steve Barber, CEO of Xyratex. “We want to ensure that current Lustre customers get the best possible feature roadmap and support, and we intend to engage the entire community to advance the Lustre technology. We also appreciate Oracle’s support of Lustre, and their efforts to ensure the long-term success of the technology.” The Lustre file system, which was first released in 2003, is a client/server based, distributed architecture designed for large-scale compute and I/O-intensive, performance-sensitive applications. The Lustre architecture currently powers six of the top 10 high-performance computing (HPC) clusters in the world and more than 60 of the 100-largest HPC installations. It has emerged as a particularly popular choice in the meteorology, simulation, oil and gas, life science, rich media and finance sectors. This purchase also gives Xyratex the opportunity to continue to leverage Lustre and provide more value through its best-of-breed ClusterStor™ family of scale-out HPC data storage solutions. ClusterStor delivers a new standard in file system performance, scalability and efficiency, and brings together what were previously discrete server, network and storage platforms with their own separate software layers. The results are integrated, modular, scale-out storage building blocks that enable systems to scale both performance and capacity while aggressively reducing space, power and administrative overhead. “Cray has been using Lustre as our primary parallel file system for the past 10 years, and has deployed some of the largest and most successful Lustre installations in the world with a variety of storage products,” said Barry Bolding, vice president of storage and data management at Cray. “We have recently worked with Xyratex to deploy successful Lustre installations in the government, energy, manufacturing and academic markets with the Cray Sonexion storage system, including the record-breaking NCSA installation running Lustre at over 1TB/sec. This announcement is another important step for Lustre and the OpenSFS community, and shows the promising future of the Lustre file system in supercomputing and Big Data.” “Xyratex’ deep knowledge of Lustre, and ability to deploy and support it, has been critical in helping NCSA bring the Blue Waters system into production and making a new class of computational and data focused petascale system usable for our scientific and engineering teams,” said Dr. William Kramer, Blue Waters Deputy Directory at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Application, whose Blue Waters supercomputer is amongst the fastest and most efficient in the world. “With Xyratex in a leadership role and continuing to work with the broader community, we have the utmost confidence that Lustre will continue to produce significant innovation, for the benefit of computational and data focused communities.” “This strategic move by Xyratex is great news for the worldwide HPC community and the technical computing industry, because it shows a significant commitment to the future of Lustre,” said Earl Joseph, program vice president of high-performance systems at IDC. “Xyratex has been an integral member of the HPC and open-source community, and has worked with many partners in the community to bring Lustre to end users and deliver tremendous value. With Xyratex in this role, I’m looking forward to see what’s next for Lustre in terms of innovation and value, especially as we race towards exascale solutions.” “Our organization is committed to facilitating collaboration and support for Lustre in the open file system community,” said Hugo Falter, director of European Open File System (EOFS). “Time and time again Xyratex has demonstrated its commitment to move Lustre forward with the rest of the open source community and make it more reliable for end users. I have complete confidence that Xyratex will remain true to this commitment over the long term.” “OpenSFS actively supports the HPC open source file system community of which Xyratex is an active Member,” said Norm Morse, CEO at OpenSFS. "This acquisition gives Xyratex a great opportunity in concert with other members of the Lustre community to continue the stability needed to ensure Lustre remains a vital part of HPC going forward. We look forward to working with Xyratex in the future.” “Xyratex, through this purchase, puts Lustre into the hands of a company that is focused on the needs of High Performance Computing, which is a good thing for the HPC community,” said Addison Snell, CEO at Intersect360 Research. “Over the past few years the community has made significant progress in addressing these concerns, and Xyratex is well-positioned to facilitate the continued development and evolution of Lustre in the years ahead.” “Xyratex’s knowledge of Lustre, and ability to deploy and support it, is of tremendous value to the Lustre community,” said Tommy Minyard, director of advanced computing systems at Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). “With Xyratex continuing to play an active role going forward, we have the utmost confidence that the Lustre community will continue to produce significant innovation, for the benefit of everyone.” “Xyratex' acquisition of the Lustre assets secures the trust the community needs to continue investing in Lustre as a critical data access technology,” said Peter ffoulkes, research director for servers, virtualization and cloud computing at 451 Research. “Lustre is an integral component of some of the fastest and largest data storage systems in production today, a requirement that is only going to increase as the ‘Internet of Things’ feeds the proliferation of ‘Big Data’ in both private and public cloud environments. As the largest supplier of OEM data storage offerings, Xyratex has taken a strategic step to ensure the continued adoption of Lustre as a preferred solution for the most demanding data storage and access environments.” Xyratex is active and plays an integral role within several Lustre and HPC community organizations, including: OpenSFS; European Open File System (EOFS); the Exascale I/O Workgroup (EIOW); and the European Technology Platform for High Performance Computing (ETP4HPC).

This is Jesse Casman, helping out a little with OpenSFS marketing materials. Pam is looking to spruce up the basic OpenSFS PowerPoint template that OpenSFS participants use at LUG, ISC, SC and other meetings throughout the year. Just stepping it up a notch. Enclosed is a PDF that shows the basic idea. Just a little cleaner and echoing the new website. Nothing too crazy. (Note the fonts used for the presentation title, etc., probably won't be so fancy in a normal PPT when you're restricted to using fonts from your own computer.) Looking to get comments - high level, small details - by end of day tomorrow, Friday, Feb 21. Thanks, Jesse Jesse Casman Oppkey cell 415-730-2793 twitter, gtalk, skype: jcasman ___________________________________ Pam Hamilton Lawrence Livermore National Lab P.O.

URL: From jcasman at oppkey.com Thu Feb 21 18:36:28 2013 From: jcasman at oppkey.com (Jesse Casman) Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:36:28 -0800 Subject: [cdwg] New OpenSFS Powerpoint template Message-ID: CDWG! This is Jesse Casman, helping out a little with OpenSFS marketing materials. Pam is looking to spruce up the basic OpenSFS PowerPoint template that OpenSFS participants use at LUG, ISC, SC and other meetings throughout the year. Just stepping it up a notch. Enclosed is a PDF that shows the basic idea. Just a little cleaner and echoing the new website. Nothing too crazy. (Note the fonts used for the presentation title, etc., probably won't be so fancy in a normal PPT when you're restricted to using fonts from your own computer.) Looking to get comments - high level, small details - by end of day tomorrow, Friday, Feb 21.
