Description

We run the Epics Archiver Appliance ( http://epicsarchiverap.sourceforge.net ) at the Fritz-Haber-Institut. The appliance runs right now as a cluster on two server systems. The servers are connected to different networks to collect all EPICS-PV-data from different experiments distributed in the whole institute. As long time storage (LTS) a storage gateway (StrongBox) is used to enable storage cost optimization. StrongBox is using tapes (LTO 5 & 6) as archive/long-term storage media. The self-describing LTFS is used. So no properitary software is necessary to access the data on the tapes. I will introduce the assembly and will give some performance data. I want to discuss some open issues regarding the retrival and management of the archiver appliance.
