Comment on Under the hood of a Panasas 3100 by Neal

Hi Casey,

From what I recall, the OS is FreeBSD based.. console access is via the serial port on the front of each device… they have two IDE connections but generally only room enough for one 3.5 inch drive? There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to boot up via a CD so the only options I could think of were to boot over the network or swap out the drives with say a IDE to CF adapter or IDE to USB and go that route. Once the proper drivers / devices are determined for disk and network it gets a little easier with a recent linux kernel.

Once you are able to boot into a basic enough shell with the right drivers you can pull down and install anything you want that works with the hardware.. I never got far enough to learn any more about the back-plane or how to monitor / interact with anything else..

If you have any further information on the hardware (who manufactures the blades and chassis) that would be helpful.

Regards,
Neal

Hi Neal,
Thanks for the reply.
My company has received quantities of Panasas arrays in the past and I’ve always held out hope that they could be re purposed with some flavor of Linux. I was just hoping that you had made some progress that I could use on the next batch we get.
Regards,
Casey

[...] I’ve attended in some time that wasn’t focused on a particular language (like ZendCon) and it was great that Surge was held right here in downtown [...]

Hi Casey,

I did get the chance to tinker with it a little bit before it got put in storage for the move. Anything in particular you were looking for?

Hi Neal,
Did you ever get the Panasas up and running?

Good post. I agree with everything in your post – except the ‘concealing the names’ part. I believe that is counter productive. Other people can benefit from learning about these shady recruiters – and avoid going through the same experience. To help with this sharing of information, I recently launched RecruiterstoAvoid.com .

i put that in a clasthe repository
filter($method));

$name = \preg_replace(‘/^get_/ui’, ”, $filtered);
$value = $object->{$method}();
if (!is_object($value)) {
$q[$name] = $value;
}
}
}
}else if (is_array($object)){
$q=$object;
}
return \array_map(‘\Repositories\objectToArray’, $q);
}

This it will be work only if we have in Our model magical methods (if we have private properties in Entities):
/** * __get Magic method for get Object attributes * @param $property */ public function __get($property) { return $this->$property; } /** * __set Magic method for set property and value * @param $property * @param $value */ public function __set($property, $value) { $this->$property = $value; }

Hi David,

The abstract class in this case is base class that all of your entities will use.. as an example, given:

vehicle.php
– car.php
– truck.php
– van.php
– etc..

.. where you were to keep all of your common functionality in the base class “vehicle” and extend / implement specifics for each type of vehicle.. example:

class truck extends vehicle { // specific 'truck' things go here.. }

.. so vehicle.php is your base class and contains the toArray() method… so you can call:

$t = new truck(); $t->toArray();

..follow?

Hi there,
I’d like to use your functionnality.
However i don’t understand how to implement it.

Can you detail this part please ?
“Based on a couple of assumptions (like ‘NS’ is your library that handles the Doctrine Entity Manager) ..in your abstract class, will need 2 methods”

What abstract class?
What class to extend? Entity\Manager?
How ?

Best regards

David
