Discussion about speed and observation

[To-M]

And the Price will go up $$$$$ big time (DSS $1250.00 USA and SAN/IQ 20x that amount). I have some info for you on your tests and some of your questions but you are in 10GB speed mode .

Can you send me logs from the DSS and are you using the Demo-CD version 1.23?
If so email me so I can give you the FTP access for a different version.

If you are using the USB then email me so I can give a special version that should change your stats

Money is not the point here ( I just sent you a PM about that ) , customer that play with 16TB of data in general have enough money to buy from lefthand or isilon or any other big player but I prefer to put my money into and more human company.

I used 1.23 Demo and I'm already having FTP access so just point me into right folder

hmm.. ill do similar tests with the init and non-init and see what i get.

also, maybe you could use iozone for benchmark data?

my command is as follows:
iozone -Razb c:\pro1000mt_test_9650se-wbcache-ncq-softinitiator.xls -f G:\tesfile.lo1


maybe open-e engineers can give us a baseline of what we should expect with performance? personally i want to be able to saturate my ethernet before i saturate my disks but it seems i cant saturate either!

The best speed I can reach with one gigabyte link was 65MB/s writing and 60MB/s reading but apple xraid could nod permit more than that with only one fiber connection so I'm happy with that , the thing that I miss in Open-E is a built-in benchmark for connection between drive and Open-E server , with this thing we could be able to know if the problem come from network or physical connection and also evaluate which speed we can expect from our system before doing ISCSI and/or FC Target , less problem and more happy camper. Open-E?

Not a problem - but we would like to wait with newer release of 1.30.

Also iSCSI-R3 will have update as well, next following week.

I will ask our engineers to see if we can have this built-in benchmark for connection between drive and DSS server. Packets and NICs can be viewed from the Status > Hardware section on the bottom.

Then by all means SPEND away - love to see cost at the end of the day beyond that 16TB. LeftHand is a great product and how do we know this , we just have good friends their .

Anyway go to the /DEMO-CD/DSS_ver_1.23/InEngineeringPhase and test.

But I would like for you both to wait until next week for 1.30 of the Demo-CD, then run your tests. 1.30 finial release for USB will be tomorrow or Monday.

Any way you can send log file??

I can't find where to view that log

[vkeven]

Oh my sorry stupid question , just sent

Nope - try again - I do not see any attachments.
