India clinch the Cricket World Cup 2011 by 6 wickets from SriLanka

India won the 2011 world cup after 28 years and the first host nation to win the cup in their home soil. Way to go India...."Congratulations Team India"  and to my fellow Indians/Patrons who enjoyed each and every moment of this world cup game in different crowd/venue throughout Bangladesh/ Srilanka and India. I hope this legacy will last for ever in every Indian's heart and soul. Being last world cup for two great legends from each country (India and Srilanka) Murali and Sachin will be greatly missed by all the nations. Way to go guys...awesome work. On behalf of cricket playing countries and fans I personally congretulate you both for your contributions to this greatest game. This win brings India back on top of the ICC one day table.

Man of the Match for this game was none other than Indian captain Dhoni for his outstanding runchase and leadership skills.

Man of the tournament for this world cup was none other than Yuvraj singh for 4 MOM awards for outstanding allrounder performance

Even in bowling Zaheer Khan clinch the top spot with Afridi.

Overall Indians were best throught this tournament and ultimately the best team won the award. Srilanka also fought very hard and were consistant throught the tournament so their achievement of runners up should not be overlooked by Srilanka.

Good luck guys...in 2015 in NZ and Australia.

Tips for Improving Storage System Performance

• Connectivity – Make sure bottlenecks to do not exist within your SAN fabric. or Storage array. Often clients who have 4Gbps Storage systems connecting to 2Gbps SAN switches or HBA's. A smart idea is to quickly review all pieces of your SAN fabric and the Storage controller ports to identify potential bottlenecks and eliminate them right away.
• Drive Count – Storage array performance can be often fixed by adding additional disk drives to the storage configuration within the RAID group. The reason this fix works is that by spreading out the workload with the newly added disks, you gain the advantage of having more drives/arms/spindles accessing and retrieving data, and feeding that data to the storage controller to deliver faster I/O.
• Drive Size – By using smaller & faster drives for high performance environments such as Oracle, you avoid disk drive contention(s). Contention can manifest itself when too much data is placed on larger drives. An example would be trying to place 4TB of data on 1 shelf of 14x 300GB drives or 1 shelf of 14X450GB drives.
• Drive Type – SATA drives are an excellent format for archive or low I/O applications such as file servers or imaging, but become less ideal for larger VMWare, Oracle, Exchange or high intensive I/O environments. Make sure you invest in the right technology according to application/workload & follow the best practices effort for implementation. 
• Controller Segregation – As storage requirements continue to grow, small storage shops can eventually grow into large storage shops. If multiple high performance applications are placed on a single modular array it may overwhelm the system. Consider a second array or a tiered architecture should your array have a high combination of performance-oriented application.
• RAID Level – Raid 10, Raid 1, Raid 6, RAID-DP, Raid5 and other parity combination's all have their strength and limitations. Do your research to make sure the RAID configuration you are considering will support and maintain application performance for the long term.

Netapp - Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-Mode and later releases - Enhancements

Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-Mode and later releases provide improved performance, resiliency, and management capabilities for storage resources.

Support for 64-bit aggregates:

In Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode and later releases, Data ONTAP supports a new type of aggregate, the 64-bit aggregate. 64-bit aggregates have a larger maximum size than aggregates created with earlier versions of Data ONTAP. In addition, volumes contained by 64-bit aggregates have a larger maximum size than volumes contained by aggregates created with earlier versions of Data ONTAP.

Upgrading to Data ONTAP 8.0.1 increases volume capacity after deduplication:

After you upgrade to Data ONTAP 8.0.1 and later from an earlier release of Data ONTAP, you can increase the deduplicated volume size up to 16 TB.

Maximum simultaneous FlexClone file or FlexClone LUN operations per storage system:

Starting with Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode, you can simultaneously run a maximum of 500 FlexClone file or FlexClone LUN operations on a storage system.

File space utilization report:

The file space utilization report enables you to see the files and the amount of space that they occupy in a deduplicated volume. You can choose to either move or delete the files to reclaim the space.

Increased maximum RAID group size for SATA disks:

Starting in Data ONTAP 8.0.1, the maximum raid group size allowed for ATA, BSAS, and SATA disks has increased from 16 to 20 disks. The default size remains the same, at 14 disks.

FlexClone files and FlexClone LUNs support on MultiStore:

In Data ONTAP 7.3.3 and later releases of the 7.x release family, and in Data ONTAP 8.0.1 and later, the FlexClone files and FlexClone LUNs commands are available in the default and nondefault vfiler contexts.

My Canadian friends and families want to apply for OCI?

OCI - Overseas Citizen Indian Application process is tedious and you have to make sure that you have all the details and minimum two copies of each document you need for submission. Make sure you have 2 photos for each applicant.
