VA7400 Performance

[Vincent Fleming]

Your attachment isn't coming through.

How many drives do you have in your VA7400? What size are they? (73GB? 36GB?)

Can you attach a "sar -d" output so we can see how much I/O you're doing?

Thanks,

Vince

Getvalogs created a 7 MB file compressed on this system so I sent this file. I picked the time frame we experienced the worse performance.
Yesterday, we began freeing up space for RAID 0+1 space by removing LUNS we do not need. We currently have 734 GB of free space in the array. Of that free space 267 GB is for active spare space. We will gree up more space over the next 2 weekends.
By doing this we drastically reduced the number of aborts listed in the "armperf -c OPAQUE" file. We did have 11 aborts listed at 10:32 this morning.
Things are better, but not perfect.

Can not get attachment. From my experience you can not attach files bigger than 256K, and ITRC only accepts files with extensions txt and zip (not gz, tgz, tar etc).
Attach at least 'armdsp -a' and 'armlog -e' zipped (.zip, in using winzip)

I had to use to zip files.

I get the .zip, but it's corrupt. How about emailing it to me at vince.fleming@hp.com

I can forward to Eugeny as well.

I have 45 73GB drives. Attached are sar logs from tha main database system.

Your second try was still not good.

[Eugeny Brychkov]

Thomas,
no way. Both attachments say 'file is not a valid archive'. During download I see that only first 256K are available to download.
So please attach files/archives less than 256K. Sorry :o((

Dude!

You're hammering the snot out of that array!

I'm taking a closer look, but at first glance, it looks like it's too small of an array for the load you're putting on it.
