Memory caches <> within an ONStor SAN Filer are effectively write-through caches. <> <> The ONStor SAN Filer contains two BCM1250 processors each with two cores <> (total 4 CPUs). All network protocol and filesystem operations are <> performed by these processors. <> <> The ONStor SAN Filer has one network controller with four Gigabit <> ethernet connections, all connected to the same network. A custom FPGA <> is used to calculate the CRC for TCP. Jumbo frames were not used. <> <> The ONStor SAN Filer has one disk controller with four 2 Gbps FC ports. <> Each port is managed by an PMC RM7000A CPU with 256 MB of memory and <> has a QLOGIC ISP2310 FC controller. <> <> The four FC controller ports on the ONStor SAN Filer were connected to <> a 16 port fibre channel switch (Brocade Silk Worm 3800). <> Each 3PAR Controller Node had two ports connected to the same fibre <> channel switch. <> <> The 3PAR S400 is a fibre-channel-attached, block-level storage array. <> The 3PAR S400 was configured as a single array with two 2,400 MHz <> 3PAR Controller Nodes. <> Each Controller Node of the 3PAR InServ S400 storage server includes <> 8 GB of data cache (16 GB total). The InServ S400 has an additional 2 GB of <> control cache (CPU memory) per Controller Node. <> Write-caching occurs in the disk subsystem only. <> <> There are redundant lead-acid batteries supporting each 3PAR <> Controller Node. These batteries power the node during a power <> failure, saving all cache contents to an internal drive. <> Booting after a power failure initiates a recovery process that <> recovers cache contents from the internal drives. <> <> The 3PAR Controller Nodes are configured with "common provisioning groups". <> Thin provisioning allocates physical storage from a common pool <> upon write operations. <> <> The ONStor SAN Filer created 8 filesystems (or "volumes" in ONStor <> terminology). Each volume was written to a single TPVV, "thinly <> provisioned virtual volume", on the 3PAR InServ. Four TPVVs <> were created on each 3PAR Controller Node. Each Controller Node <> is comprised of multiple RAID-0 groups, striped across 60 disks. <> <> Automatic snapshot scheduling was disabled and data cache read-ahead <> was disabled on the SAN Filer. <> <> ONStor, the ONStor logo, EverON, and STOR-FS are trademarks of ONStor, Inc. <> <> 3PARdata, the 3PAR logo, 3PAR, InServ and InForm are trademarks of 3PARdata, Inc. <> <> Other trademarks are the property of their respective holders. <> =============================================================================== Generated on Wed Jan 21 16:46:31 EST 2004 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
