Our company has too much internal servers. And the legacy system is much heavier. When I become MIS, first step is refactor the servers. Our company have three data server, and one HD of them die. The other one will fall soon. And the former staff’s data place in anywhere of the company. When the manger needs the data, it is very difficult to find them.
First step is to build file server. We use any ways we can to get two WD HDs. We build the server with RAID 1 for the stability purpose. When the server become stable, we merge the AD doc server and file server. The former AD doc server uses httpd to download, but this time we change to samba way. And we could offer 10G backup data quota for every staff.
Second step is to put the former staff’s data to new file server and chown the permisssion to the manager. Every time we need the data, I must open the former computer and pray the computer can operate normally. But in this way, things are change. And I could format the former computer’s data because the data has home it should be.
The third step is to put the data server to the file server. Because of the large data size, I spends over one week to move the data.
In addition, I puts some program like JDK, or netbeans to the file server. Let will save the download time.
One brand new file server could replace three data server, and the file server is much stable cause RAID 1. The single file sever will be easy to maintain and offer a place for former staff data.
I cannot image the file server’s imporantance.
If the other WD HD is free to use, we could build RAID 5. And the file server will double the storage size in that time.
敝公司內部 server 太多,舊有的系統也包袱太大。當我接管 MIS 之後,第一步就是想要重新整理這裡的東西。敝公司的 internel data Server 就多達三處,其中有一個 HD 掛了,一台搖搖欲墜。並且離職員工的作業資料散落各地,每次有需要,要尋找相關會遇到相當的麻煩。
第一步就是建立 File Server,我們使用偷拐搶騙的方式終於搞到兩個 WD HD,用來作 Raid 1,確保穩定性之後,開始將公告 Server 從 HTTP 的方式改成 Samba 下載,並且提供大家 10G 的備份空間。
第二步就是將離職員工的工作資料放上 File Server,並且直接權限開給相關主管。避免每次要找資料,都得先找到那個人的前電腦,然後開機找資料。如此也可以避免前人的電腦在起不能的麻煩,而且前人電腦也可以豪邁的重灌,不怕資料不見。
第三步就是將另外幾部 Data Server 資料全部集中在 File Server 上,由於資料量太大,我搬了快一週還沒搬完。
另外,我將 JDK ,Doc ,netbeans…等重複下載的程式也順道放在 File Server 上面,節省大家下載的憑寬跟時間。等於我們用一台 File Server 達到以前 3 台 Data Server 的事情,並且還有 Raid 保護,管理單一化方便,還增添了離職員工資料區,跟相關檔案下載區。真是不能小看 File Server 的功用。
對了,等到另一個 WD HD下來,我們就可以做 RAID 5,到時候 File Server 容量直接兩倍。
