[ADSM-L] Tracking who "owns" a node
2009-02-19 12:49:10
For every node we back up, there is someone who uses it.
This person knows that:
* They want it backed up ONLY between 2AM and 4AM;
* They can't afford TDP so please back up the flat-file database dump
and ignore the true DB directories;
* They prefer to exclude drive C:
* For recovery, the application depends on 3 other nodes too
and so on.
It helps us do a better job, if we know who these people are.
So, how do you map people to nodes?
I'm trying to see what's common, so our bolt-on software can discover
this mapping if it's there,
or help you set it up if it's not.
Reply to me off-list and I'll report back the results to the community
here.
Just pick a number below (I'm trying to make this so easy ;-} ), and/
or discuss in detail.
Phone calls welcome too.

How do you know who owns a node?
0. We don't.
1. We put an email address in the node's CONTACT field.
2. We put structured info (like "joe AT foo DOT org; Joe Jones; HR;
212-223-1111") in the CONTACT field
3. We put un-structured stuff in the CONTACT field, like name, phone
number, email, or whatever we have
4. We put the email address in the node's EMAIL_ADDRESS field
5. We use home-grown spreadsheets or databases or shell scripts
6. We use 3rd-party apps like Servergraph, or Bocada, etc.
7. None of the above
