=============================================================================== Notes and Tuning <> The tested system was BlueArc Titan 2200 with high memory option installed and all standard protection services enabled, including RAID, NVRAM logging, and media error scrubbing. <> Titan uses Field Programmable Gate Arrays to accelerate processing of network traffic and file system I/O. 7 FPGAs are used for NFS processing out of a total of 12 FPGAs in the system. <> The test system included eight dual controller FC-14C disk arrays where each FC-14C has a single FC-14E expansion enclosure connected to it, for a total of 208 disks. Eight file system volumes were configured, each spanning two 12+1 RAID 5 arrays. The eight file system volumes were aggregated and presented to the network as a single, unified namespace by the BlueArc Titan Silicon File System with Cluster Name Space (CNS) enabled. <> The redundant disk array controller ports were each attached to redundant Brocade 4100 FC switches, which were in turn connected to the Titan 2100 to provide a completely redundant switched fabric path between the Titan 2100 and all disk arrays. <> The SMU provides a system management interface for the complete Titan storage solution <> Jumbo frames were not enabled <> For Uniform Access Rule compliance all LG's accessed all cluster namespace objects uniformly across all interfaces. <> For example: <> S11-16 = Server 1, network ports 1-6 <> F1 = cluster namespace root (representing 8 filesystem objects across the entire storage) <> R1-8 = cluster namespace objects rooted to this server <> Each LG then has balanced access to: <> S11:F1/R1-8, S12:F1/R1-8, S13:F1/R1-8, S14:F1/R1-8, S15:F1/R1-8, S16:F1/R1-8 <> Titan 2200 has 33.8 gigabytes (GB) of of memory, cache and NVRAM distributed as follows: <> NIM (Network Interface Module) - 2.8 GB memory <> FSA (File System - A) - 4.0 GB memory <> FSB (File System - B) - 17.25 GB, of which 2.0 is NVRAM and 14.5 is temporary FS metadata cache. The remaining amount is used for temporary buffering data moving to/from the disk drives and/or network. <> SIM (Storage Interface Module) - 9.75 GB, of which 8.0 is "sector" cache used for interface with RAID controllers and disk subsystem. <> The 8.0 GB of "other cache size" listed in this submission refers to the 8.0 GB of sector cache in the SIM module. =============================================================================== Generated on Wed Feb 22 15:09:27 EST 2006 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
