Hi all, I''ve got a solaris 10 running 9/10 on a T3. It''s an oracle box with 128GB memory RIght now oracle . I''ve been trying to load test the box with bonnie++. I can seem to get 80 to 90 K writes, but can''t seem to get more than a couple K for writes. Any suggestions? Or should I take this to a bonnie++ mailing list? Any help is appreciated. I''m kinda new to load testing. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

what is your storage? internal sas or external array what is your zfs setup?

Thanks.Also, note that bonnie++ is single threaded, and a T3''s single-thread performance isn''t stellar, by any means. It''s entirely possible you''re CPU bound during the test. Though, a list of your ZFS config would be nice, as previously mentioned... -Erik
Ok. I blew it. I didn''t add enough information. Here''s some more detail: Disk array is a RAMSAN array, with RAID6 and 8K stripes. I''m measuring performance with the results of the bonnie++ output and comparing with with the the zpool iostat output. It''s with the zpool iostat I''m not seeing a lot of writes. Like I said, I''m new to this and if I need to provide anything else I will. Thanks, all.

what is zpool <zpool> status are you using the default 128k stripsize for <zpool> is your server x86 ? or sparc t3 , how many socket? IMHO, t3 for oracle need careful tuning since many oracle ops need fast single thread cpu Sent from my iPad On Jan 5, 2012, at 11:40, grant lowe <glowe11 at gmail.com> wrote:> Ok. I blew it.

one still does not understand your setup 1 what is hba in T3-2 2 did u setup raid6 (how) in ramsan array? or present the ssd as jbod to zpool 3 which model of RAMSAN 4 are there any other storage behind RAMSAN 5 do you set up zpool with zil and or ARC? 6 IMHO, the hybre approach to ZFS is the most cost effective, 7200rpm SAS with zil and ARC and mirror Zpool the problem with raid6 with 8k and oracle 8k is the mismatch of stripsize we know the zpool use dynamic stripsize in raid, not the same as in hw raid but similar consideration still exist Sent from my iPad On Jan 5, 2012, at 11:40, grant lowe <glowe11 at gmail.com> wrote:> Ok.

I''m kinda new to load testing.I was hoping Roch (from Oracle) would respond, but perhaps he''s not hanging out on zfs-discuss anymore? Bonnie++ sux as a benchmark. The best analysis of this was done by Roch and published online in the seminal blog post: http://137.254.16.27/roch/entry/decoding_bonnie I suggest you find a benchmark that more closely resembles your expected workload and do not rely on benchmarks that provide a summary metric. -- richard -- ZFS and performance consulting http://www.RichardElling.com illumos meetup, Jan 10, 2012, Menlo Park, CA http://www.meetup.com/illumos-User-Group/events/41665962/

I resembles your workload as good as you are able to describe it but takes some time to get things setup if you cannot find your workload in one of the many provided examples Thomas
