Isi get output

Hi guys

Do you know what this /2 meant by

The out put from #isi get cmd?

Isi get output summary

/ifs/home/newUser1:

default 4+2/2 concurrency on .cshrc

I know this is protection n+2:1 , but not sure /2 for. Would this be up to 2 disks can be failed? Or this mean divided by 2?

Thanks!

It's OneFS FEC protection nomenclature for our "hybrid" protection polices.  More generally, it's written as:

N+M/b

where "N" is the number of data stripe units in a stripe, "M" is the number of FEC stripe units in a stripe, and "b" is the number of stripe units in a stripe which are allowed to reside on the same node.

For the hybrid protection policy of +2:1 (or +2d:1n in OneFS 7.2+), you have

N+2/2

where "N" varies, up to our maximum stripe width, based on cluster size.  For a 3 node cluster, N=4.  So your 4+2/2 says you have a 3 node cluster, and each stripe of a file can have (at most) 4 data stripe units, 2 FEC stripe units, with at most 2 stripe units, per stripe, per node.  This protection policy can sustain the failure of a single node or the failure of 2 drives.
