zfs discuss - Nov 2006 - Filebench, X4200 and Sun Storagetek 6140

Hi there

I''m busy with some tests on the above hardware and will post some
scores soon.

For those that do _not_ have the above available for tests, I''m open to
suggestions on potential configs that I could run for you.

Pop me a mail if you want something specific _or_ you have suggestions
concerning filebench (varmail) config setup.

Cheers

Hi Louwtjie,

Are you running FC or SATA-II disks in the 6140? How many spindles too?

Best Regards,
Jason

6140: 2 x 2GB cache controllers - 4Gbit FC, 16 x 4Gbit 146GB FC 15K spindles

Unfortunately I don''t have a 4Gbit HBA or multiple 2Gbit cards, since
the
above 6140 must be one of the fastest "building" blocks available. I
would
have loved to see (using multiple HBA''s) how much IO''s one
could get from
it.

I am looking for some answers on RAID-5 performance (hardware) utilizing
different number of spindles. Also pure performance when it comes to
RAID-0,1 and 10 ... UFS vs ZFS on these RAID setups _and_ zfs controlling
single (or striped) hardware luns.

I havent spend much time with filebench, but I will try to stick to what
I''ve seen at clients ito db sizes, users, type of app, etc.
