Only the primary loops were active. <> 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 via a secondary loop. <> The F1 filesystem was striped across both primary loops of the first node. The F2 filesystem was striped across both primary loops of the second node. <> Each filesystem was composed of six RAID-4 groups; each RAID-group was composed of 7 data disks and 1 parity disk. Four spare disks were present. <> Server tunings: <> options minra 1 -- minimize file read-ahead <> options raid.scrub.enable 0 -- disable periodic RAID scrubs for reproducibility <> Clients were attached in groups of 7 or 8 into the four Netgear switches. <> Each of the Netgear switches was uplinked into the Black Diamond switch. <> NetApp is a registered trademark and "Data ONTAP", "Network Appliance", 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 Thu Apr 14 14:49:59 EDT 2005 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
