Only the primary loops were active. <> Each node was the owner of a single disk pool or "aggregate". <> Each aggregate was composed of five RAID-DP groups, each RAID-DP group was composed of 14 data disks and 2 parity disks. <> Within each aggregate, a flexible volume (utilizing DataONTAP FlexVol (TM) technology) was created to hold the SFS filesystem for that node. <> The F1 filesystem was striped across the disks in the aggregate on the primary loops of the first node. The F2 filesystem was striped across the disks in the aggregate on the primary loops of the second node. <> Each node was the owner of one filesystem, but the disks in each aggregate were dual-attached so that, in the event of a fault, they could be controlled by the other node via a secondary loop. <> A separate flexible volume resided on the aggregate of each node held the DataONTAP operating system and system files. <> All network ports were set to use jumbo frames (MTU=9000). <> <> Server tunings: <> - vol options vol1 no_atime_on 1 -- to disable access time update <> - vol options vol1 minra 1 -- to minimize file read-ahead <> <> NetApp is a registered trademark and "Data ONTAP", "Network Appliance", "FlexVol", and "WAFL" are trademarks of Network Appliance, Inc. in the United States and other countries. <> All other trademarks belong to their respective owners and should be treated as such. =============================================================================== Generated on Tue May 9 15:02:12 EDT 2006 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
