Four spare disks were present. <> The F1 filesystem was striped across both primary disk controllers on the first node. The F2 filesystem was striped across both primary disk controllers on the second 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 failover cluster comprised of two nodes joined by a cluster interconnect. <> Each node was the owner of one filesystem, but the disks were dual-attached so that, in the event of a fault, they could be controlled by the other node using a secondary loop. <> Each RAID-group was on a distinct pair of FCAL loops: one primary and one secondary. <> The cluster option was licensed an enabled. <> 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.
