Notes and Tuning
<> There are 6 HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switches connected to the SUT
<> (one per fibre channel port). Each SAN switch connects to one controller
<> of 12 HP StorageWorks 1500cs Modular Smart Arrays. Each of the 12
<> MSA1500s has dual active fibre channel controllers. Each MSA1500 has two
<> Modular Smart Array 30 Disk Enclosures containing 14 disks each.
<> Each LUN is carved from an MSA30's 14 physical disks in a RAID-5
<> configuration with 64KB stripes, 4 LUNs per MSA30.
<> There are 8 LUNs per MSA1500, four assigned to each of the MSA 1500
<> controllers. There is one test filesystem per logical disk.
<> Each client mounts two LUNs from each MSA1500 (one from each controller).
<> VxFS is used for the OS and test filesystems (F1-F96).
<> Each test filesystem log is 32k entries, mounted noatime (no access time update
<> except when they correspond to updated to ctime or mtime)
<> Jumbo frames (9000-byte MTU) over 10Gbit Ethernet.
