One RAID array had two JBOD expansion arrays. <> The two RAID arrays were chained together with redundant FC loops. <> The single filesystem, F1, was comprised of 15 RAID-5 sets. Five additional disks were configured as hot spares. <> Each RAID set had a strip size of 32 KB. <> <> Server Tunings: <> All network ports were set to use jumbo frames (MTU=9000). <> All scheduled SpinShot jobs were disabled for reproducibility <> <> Each SpinStor 200 RAID Array utilized dual RAID Controllers, each with 256 MB of battery-backed RAM. <> The RAID Controller was configured with a Write-Back cache that switches to Write-Through mode when <> the charge level of its battery is below 72 hours. <> <> The SpinServer 4100 has 1.7 Gbytes of UPS backed cache that will survive a power failure or an operating <> system crash. In the event of a power failure or low battery condition, the cache is written to <> mirrored local SCSI disks. Recovery software restores the cache when power returns. This RAM is not used <> by the operating system as general purpose memory but as NVRAM that is dedicated for caching disk reads <> and writes. The UPS is guaranteed to have sufficient energy after a battery low condition to <> flush the entire contents of the 1.7 GBytes of cache to local drives. <> <> Spinnaker Networks, SpinServer, SpinStor, and SpinFS are trademarks of Spinnaker Networks in the United States. <> All other trademarks belong to their respective owners and should be treated as such. =============================================================================== Generated on Tue Jun 24 16:21:17 EDT 2003 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
