There are 2 EVA 8000XL disk arrays and a single 32 port 2Gb FC switch. All FC connections are 2Gb. <> Both ports on the server and 8 ports from each EVA are attached to the switch. There are 12 LUNs with 1 file system per LUN. <> Each EVA is presenting 6 RAID1 LUNs to the server. Each LUN is striped across all disks in it’s array. <> Each EVA has a controller pair with 4GB of NVRAM (2GB per controller) for write cache. This cache is mirrored, <> reducing the effective cache to 1GB per controller. Each file system was formatted as NTFS with the default 4K allocation size. <> There are 4 load generators with 24 PROCS each. Each LG mounts each FS once on each network interface. <> Jumbo frames were not used. <> <> "File System Creation Ops" = /q /fs:ntfs /v: /a:4k /x <> /q -- Performs a quick format. <> /fs:ntfs -- Specifies the type of the file system (NTFS). <> /v: -- Specifies the volume label. (Blank in this case) <> /a:4k -- Sets the allocation unit size (default is 4K) <> /x -- Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. <> "File System Config" = default (nothing specific configuration) <> <> Each File System had 1 NFS export that was shared with rw access, root allow, and anonymous <> access=yes.
