Just wanted to share the details with anyone else wanting to know.

Back when we first installed out CS220 in March 2012 I ran a bunch of SQLIO test's against the Nimble CS220 our Dell MD3000i SAN and local SSD storage.  Just testing using SQLIO with 4k size.  I varied the Windows disk formating size to just see the results.

Guess I can't post iFrames so here is a link to the PDF's.

Also just ran some tests today before we implemented the 0 byte settings.  This is in reference to Importance of path change settings in VMware  and

If anyone else has their testing details out there it would be cool too.

Thanks for sharing those results Shawn, some good numbers there! Interesting to see the massive difference when changing the multi-path policies. I've never yet tried the zero-byte configuration so will also try this and compare :-)

Cheers,

Very interesting set of results indeed, thank you for posting!

The 0 bytes parameter really does make a difference, will share these with my peers.
