Admins,
I have a stripeset that has very large file, continuous writes. The write performance is poor, and I'm wondering if increasing the stripe size (chunck size) would help. Here are the specs:
GS80 connected via switched SAN to EMA1200- Multi Bus Failover HSG80s
Stripeset is made up of 6 72GB, 15K disks, and has a default 256 block chunk size.
The entire dsk is used in a single volume/fileset.
--- Given that this is for writes only, and the writes are large and continuous, should I increase the chunksize of the stripeset, and increase the write block size of the file domain in advfs? What factors do I need to consider when choosing a chunksize (i.e. disk geometry, cylinder, etc.)? The StorageWorks books arn't real helpful. -Thanks Rich Glazier __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
