C90/DMF - Abstract
TITLE
"Providing Extra Service:
What To Do With Migrated User Files?"
ABSTRACT
When faced with decommissioning our popular C90 machine, there was a
problem of what to do with the 80,000 migrated files in 40,000
directories and the users' non-migrated files. Special software and
scripts were written to store the file inode data, parse the DMF
database, and interact with the tape storage system. Design issues,
problems to overcome, boundaries to cross, and the hard reality of
experience will be discussed.
