FAStT200 HA performance tuning
All I have a few questions regarding tuning the IBM FAStT200 HA storage arrays. Incidentally our configuration is 2-node MSCS Windows 2000 MSCS clusters running as file servers. File sizes range all the way from 1K to 100M. And its all on one RAID5 array with 3 LUNs. 2 of these are 1GB and the remainder is one large NTFS volume. I am not allowed to change RAID levels as the free space will reduce and the customer wont like it. :-( 1. Does anyone have any details of the max throughput that can be achieved for both read and write (real-world figures)? We have pretty much a 50-50 split between reads and writes. 2. Does anyone defrag FAStT200 HA out there? 3. Do I have to use both controllers in the HA model to get the full throughput possible. Can I not make one controller run at the fastest possible rate? I assume FC-AL 1Gbps ~ 100MB/s. I'd be happy with 80MB/s if I can get it ;-) and a slightly OT question ;-) 4. Is it possible to make the disks on the FAStT200 appear as JBOD to a Solaris10 x86 host and use ZFS? Thanks M@ |
