Interview Success Map created specially for storage blog readers

I wanted to Thank YOU, all the blog readers who take time to visit & read boring :) articles on this website(blog). Here is a very useful gift for you. These images are part of "Interview Success Maps". I worked with one of my friend from another country to get this created for you. This was actually planned to be sold for $24 along with some more Mindmaps but I'm giving this away free. I rarely give something for free since I've learnt that people dont respect what they get for free.

(People who are interested to pay email roger.smithson@gmail.com There are Virtualization & Storage Success Maps for you & they are not free they cost just $24. You will see their sample updated on a future blog article.)

These "Interview Success Maps" are derived from experiences of blog readers who have been attending Real Job interviews. This is not theory this is not some boring stuff this is a Simple Image. Its a detailed Road map. If I were to explain this I would take probably more than 2 hours just to explain each box & how important you make sure you've covered them properly before you actually go & sit infront of the interviewer. This flowmap helps you to easily outline what tasks out of the whole "Interview Preparation Process" you've completed & what needs to be done.

Lots of my blog readers are good in technical aspects but they do a very bad interview preparation.This has been the major reason why they were not getting offer letters though they were technically very strong. Actual preparation towards their job interviews was very bad, the preparation was messy & the outcome obviously was not great,few lucky ones got job offers though they had not done proper interview process preparation just because there is a huge demand for Storage & Virtualization professionals. If I asked them "Have you done any interview preparation" (Do you know what it takes to actually prepare for a Technical Interview in Storage or Virtualisation?) . The answer was always - Ya I know, I've done enough projects in storage/virtualisation , i have quite a lot of lab experience, I've been involved in field deployments , I've done my theory preparation & whats there in interview just go there & answer a couple of their stupid questions.I'm confident I know more than all those geeky a** h*** who are taking the interviews" (Yikes - this was the answer always :(

I'm sorry this is the reality people feel preparing for an interview is a pain in the *** . So they just dont want to do it. From my experience what I've seen is lotsa people just wanna avoid interview they'll be glad to jump the bus if they were hired without an interview. O dreamy fellow ...dreams cant get ur bread n butter so stop dreaming & do the necessary preps.

So this simple flow chart or Road Map was prepared to help people follow a structure , discipline their preparation & help them achieve better results. This is given FREE to help you get a good job offer. Do email roger.smithson@gmail.com & write if this is crappy or it was helpful. Lots of jobseekers in storage & vmware virtualisation have been actually writing to me asking for guidance in words. I created an Image for them. Its value will be known only to a person who has failed in several interviews just 'cause he has not done those essential preps.

For those who are in industry for a long time this looks natural & they may not appreciate it more.'cause they know all these by experience but when they attend interview they hardly follow this flow even though they know that this helps them win more job offers.

This crappy diagram or flow chart was created for those who take interest in organizing themselves in their job hunting experience. You can search throughout web there is hardly anything like this. So what I believe is people dont just download this & throw this image file in any folder. Instead I insist you try to adopt this model or any modified model in your interview preparation time & see the result yourself.

I help few people through web in their job search process (PAID service :) & all of them gave a feedback that this helped them know how many tasks they ignore while they were expecting interview calls. They said with this now they can prepare their own checklist & can simplify the whole cumbersome experience of attending a Software Job interview.

Forgive the small fonts/letters/hand writing the image was captured at 5Megapixel so you can enlarge & see what has been written. Feel free to share or forward or send this to your friends or anyone who can benefit from these.

If you can create a similar or better Flow chart or checklist or Mindmap or anything which can help in Software job Interview or Job hunting process please do send to roger.smithson@gmail.com so it can be shared with all the blog readers.

More FAST Learning (Success Maps) materials to come - For the success of this Storage technology Blog's Readers :)

Cheers

iSCSI Storage Solutions to solve Business Requirements

Continuing the previous post on iSCSI . This is an important topic for Storage professionals as its going to be the next major trend.

Adaptec iSCSI initiator


iSCSI host bus adapters (HBAs) are network interface controllers that incorporate a TCP Offload Engine with onboard iSCSI processing. iSCSI HBAs are usually abstracted purely as SCSI controllers by the operating system driver system. In this case, the HBA is not a part of the system network stack. Recently there has been considerable effort in providing standard vendor-independent iSCSI management facilities via operating system driver interfaces. These standard interfaces also work with software initiators.

Qlogic iSCSI HBA

Since iSCSI HBAs offload considerable processing in the iSCSI stack, interrupt generation is less than comparable software initiator setups. Applications leaving few spare CPU cycles should benefit from the use of a dedicated HBA.

iSCSI HBAs have the advantage of including PCI option ROMS to allow booting from iSCSI targets. Alternative iSCSI boot methods with software initiators would require substantial work.

The following vendors have developed iSCSI HBAs:

* Adaptec (Product is discontinued.)
* Alacritech
* Intel (Product is discontinued.)
* Qlogic
* Silverback Systems External Link

Targets
Most industry focus has been placed on creating iSCSI disk targets though iSCSI tape and medium changer targets are popular as well. So far, physical devices have not featured native iSCSI interfaces on a component level. Instead, devices with SCSI Parallel Interface or Fibre Channel interfaces are bridged by using iSCSI target software, external bridges, or controllers internal to the device enclosure.

Alternatively, disk and tape targets can be virtualizations. Rather than representing an actual physical device, an emulated virtual device is presented. The underlying implementation can deviate drastically from the presented target as is done with Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions. VTLs use disk storage for storing data written to virtual tapes. As with actual physical devices, virtual targets are presented by using iSCSI target software, external bridges, or controllers internal to the device enclosure.

Addressing and Name formats
iSCSI provides two name formats for different types of naming authorities:

* iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN), Format: iqn.yyyy-mm.{reversed domain name} (e.g. iqn.2001-04.com.acme:storage.tape.sys1.xyz)
* Extended Unique Identifier (EUI), Format: eui.{EUI-64 bit address} (e.g. eui.02004567A425678D)

In the case of IQN the address is qualified by a date (yyyy-mm) since a domain name can expire or be acquired by another entity. EUI is provided by the IEEE Registration authority in accordance with EUI-64 standard.

Each target is defined by three or four fields:
HostNameOrAddress PortNumber iSCSIName CHAPSecret (optional)

Example:
iscsi.fake.com 3260 iqn.2003-01.com.ibm:00.fcd0ab21.shark128 "123ismysecretpassword"
