Four spare disks were present. <> Each filesystem was striped across both disk controllers of a single node. <> Replaced "." with ".__" in svc.c line 399 of benchmark source, for portability. <> Server tunings: <> options nosnap 1 -- disable periodic Snapshot creation, for reproducibility <> options autosupport.enable 0 -- disable autosupport e-mails, for SUT isolation <> options raid.scrub.enable 0 -- disable periodic RAID scrubs, for reproducibility <> options minra 1 -- minimize file read-ahead <> The tested system was a scalable cluster composed of two nodes joined by a network switch. <> Each node was the exclusive owner of one filesystem. <> NetApp is a registered trademark and "Data ONTAP", "Network Appliance", Snapshot, 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.
