Abstract
EMC Isilon OneFS operating system powers a file system that scales to more than twenty petabytes of data in a single namespace. Transparent failover capabilities of SMB 3.0 are very attractive to provide continuous. non-disruptive availability of this data to the users. However as one can imagine, there are many challenges to build this capability into the scale out architecture of this magnitude. We want to share the approach we took, and challenges we overcame in the process.
