SNIA Scalefest San Simulator Snapshot.	Tom	02/29/08	Tom talked to Mike Walker who talked to SNIA folks, no problem with taking a snapshot, however, the snapshot cannot be publish on Aperi. Ok for use by IBM and any other paying plug-fest member companies. Ramani will do snapshot and working on determining if he has the proper access. There was a suggestion to post the snapshot to SMI LAB web space which is only available by paying member companies.
Update Aperi websites to help clarify support process	Al	03/31/08	Discussed at 3/3/08 meeting. The website should be updated to make support process clearer.
