David Borman developed a storage session resilience feature for the Cray-HPE/csm-config repository, focusing on enabling iSCSI services across compute and UAN nodes. He used YAML and Ansible to automate the deployment of iscsid and multipathd, ensuring iSCSI sessions persist through worker node reboots and supporting NVIDIA hybrid solution requirements. His approach emphasized configuration management and system administration best practices, with clear traceability through CHANGELOG updates and linked commits. The work addressed storage reliability by reducing manual recovery steps and accelerating recovery times, demonstrating a solid understanding of automation and infrastructure resilience within a complex enterprise environment.
November 2024: Delivered a key feature in Cray-HPE/csm-config to enhance storage session resilience by enabling iSCSI services on compute/UAN nodes. Implemented iscsid and multipathd to ensure iSCSI sessions survive worker node reboots and to support NVIDIA hybrid solution requirements. Changes were applied via Ansible playbooks; CHANGELOG updated. Associated commit: e30a6db41327c919afdb93e3fd7e45adfea58857 (CASMTRIAGE-7459). Result: improved reliability of iSCSI sessions across node reboots and streamlined deployment workflows. This work aligns with storage resilience, automation, and change governance goals, delivering tangible business value by reducing manual recovery effort and accelerating recovery times.
