To avoid a conflict between home dirs I strongly suggest you create a directory to store the files you will be creating on greentail, for example /home/username/greentail or /home/username/hp. | To avoid a conflict between home dirs I strongly suggest you create a directory to store the files you will be creating on greentail's new home dirs, for example /home/username/greentail or /home/username/hp.

At some point in the future, greentail's new home dirs will be mounted on the petaltail/swallowtail and sharptail clusters. Filer3's old home dirs will then disappear permanently. | At some point in the future, greentail's new home dirs will be mounted on the petaltail/swallowtail and sharptail clusters.

Because of the size of the new home dirs, we will also not be able to provide backup via TSM (Tivoli). Backup via TSM to our Virtual Tape Library (VTL) will be replaced with disk to disk backup on greentail's disk array. That has some serious implications. Please read the section about RSnapshot. | Because of the size of the new home dirs, we will also not be able to provide backup via TSM (Tivoli).
