Hi Joe, The facts of the matter are that none of the Transport ADs have *ever* been storage experts, and nonetheless, the Transport Area has turned out significant work on NFS and iSCSI.
What this means is that while it's a bonus if we can find an AD who is an expert in one or both of these storage protocols (they are *completely different*, FWIW), that's not a necessary job requirement - we have well over a decade of "running code" leadership experience that neither Transport AD needs to be a storage expert.

Does this mean: a) your ADs have always had sufficient storage expertise already b) your ADs didn't always have sufficient storage expertise, but that wasn't considered an impediment to their work, and as a result didn't necessitate that you to train them i.e., you did fine with (at least some) ADs who didn't have storage expertise beforehand Joe On 3/17/2013 9:24 PM, Black, David wrote: > Minor, but important correction - I'm recorded as saying: > > also, chairs of storage WGs are grateful that ADs have never had > storage expertise > > Uh, not exactly.
