Initial Project Description:
DCJS, in conjunction with the Office for Technology, manages 24x7 critical systems for the Integrated Justice agencies which are required to be highly available. The Specialist III will assist DCJS technical support staff with the lifecycle of firmware upgrades on the SAN/ Storage infrastructure consisting of IBM DS8300, XIV, SVC, DS4700, DS4300, Brocade 2109 M48 Directors, SAN32B-3 Switches, and Brocade 300 Switches.  It is also expected that the Specialist III will assist with SAN/ Storage hardware upgrades and migrations, as well as performance monitoring/tuning and problem determination and resolution.
 
Yearly firmware / software upgrades on storage devices (DS8300, DS4700, DS4300/SVC, XIV, Shark):
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage DS4700 Firmware Upgrades.
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage DS4300 / SVC Firmware Upgrades.
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage Storage Manager for DS4000 Storage.
Install / Manage DS8300 Client.
Install / Manage XIV Client.
Yearly firmware / software upgrades on Fiber Network (SAN):
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage firmware on Primary SAN (2109 / 2005-B5K).
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage firmware on BackUp SAN (B300).
Support / Manage Direct Connect Fiber (DS4700 Connections).
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage software management tool (DCFM).

Occasional Projects:
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage new hardware implementation.
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage hardware upgrades.
Research / Analysis / Spec / Implement / Verify / Document and Manage hardware migrations.
Manage SAN / Storage infrastructure documentation.
Catastrophe intervention / resolution such as datacenter power outages, production outages, etc.
Assist IBM / Brocade with research / data collections.

When necessary the candidate will assist DCJS technical support staff with the daily tasks of monitoring and supporting the SAN/Storage infrastructure. Daily tasks on storage devices (DS8300, DS4700, DS4300 / SVC, XIV, Shark):
Allocate/Deallocate LUNs
Create/Manage LUNs/Pools/Arrays/Disk Groups
Create/Manage Host Connects
Create/Manage Volume Groups/Clusters
Monitor/Address stability of Storage Devices
Assist Server Administrators/DBAs with integration/management of storage

Daily tasks on Fiber network (SAN):
Implement/Manage Fiber Connections
Install/Manage Fiber cables
Create/Manage zones
Monitor/Address stability of Fiber Network
Assist Server Administrators/DBAs with Fiber connectivity/management

The SAN/Storage infrastructure supports mission-critical Integrated Justice and legacy eJustice applications running on IBM P-Series, Sun Solaris, Linux, Windows and WMWARE servers.  DCJS serves ~500 TB of storage to ~300 hosts.  No storage based copy services are utilized.  DCJS is currently in the process of decommissioning the Shark and DS4300/SVC environments.  DCJS has two Storage Area Networks and several archive environments that are direct connects.  One SAN is local the other spans two remote datacenters in the Albany area.  The four member team that manages the SAN / Storage infrastructure is also responsible for a five Cluster VMware infrastructure.

Periodic travel between sites in the Albany area may be required.  In addition, due to the critical nature of these services, the Specialist III will be required to assist DCJS technical staff in 24x7 on-call coverage for production problem resolution.
