[UR-WG] Next phone meeting 29.05.2012 at 15:00 CET -> 31.06.2012

[john alan kennedy]

Hi Andrea,

Sorry I just started to have a better read... not exactly good timing 
since the meeting starts in a few mins.

I'll put down my questions and comments quickly.

A general question would be should we aim in this UR to have both 
storage and compute or should we just cover storage and say we can 
combine with compute via aggregate records?

Some more specific Q's and Comments:

7.1
Q - Do you think it would be better to say "StorageSystem" instead of 
"Host".

You do in the Example given.

7.2
Q - Can we re-name from "StorageShare" to something like 
"StorageSubElement"?
When I hear the word share I get the idea of a certain share of the 
storage like I get 50%.

Q- I am not quite sure what you mean with:

"The value should be able to identify the share of the storage system, 
given the storage system property"

Could you clarify - again I start to think fractions when I read this.


7.5

Q - do you really mean "just" that dir - not including any sub directories?
     If you mean no sub-dirs can we explicitly state that.

C - If you do include sub-dirs is there a possibility of the sub-dirs 
breaking out of the hierarchy - I mean something equivalent to a 
symbolic link.

C - Are there any storage system which don't have this hierarchical 
approach?


7.6

I think the Number of files is a really interesting thing to know but I 
am not sure if it belongs in the UR

Q - If we just aim to accounting/billing is #files relevant

C - #file is only possible for snapshot URs - if we have a UR which is 
formed over a period of time the number of files is hard to quantify.



I will start on the rest now (or after the meeting).

cheers
johnk
