BP112 Collaboration, Party Of One: When You're Both The Dev And The Admin
Abstract: When your administrator and your developer are one and the same, and they’re both you, things can get confusing. As the administrator, you’ve got a lot of power. Frequently, the role of an administrator is to lock things down, keep the server running smoothly and tune performance. As the developer, you want a lot of power. You want unlimited agents to run anytime you want, as frequently as possible, with little to no limitations! So how do you reconcile these opposing needs when you have to play both roles? We’ll show you how to use separate IDs, location documents and other failsafes help to make sure your party of one is successful!

We’ll talk about real world results so you can see what disk space savings you might expect in your own environment or compare yours with ours. We’ll review the best practices for DAOS configuration along with some real world stories of some variations that worked and some that didn’t, including one that caught us totally by surprise. We’ll discuss the true-to-life facts about working with backup and restore teams and getting them on board with DAOS as well as how we’ve seen Administrators correct bad configurations long after DAOS has been implemented. This is an excellent session if you have already implemented DAOS or are just getting started.
