Re: VA7400 performance problem
If the data was not being returned by the disk array, the server would not be responding to clients with empty packets... it would not respond at all (ie: it would hang waiting on the disk I/O.)
Good luck!

Re: VA7400 performance problem
Does this problem only apply to file systems located on the VA7400 or is it related to veritas volume manager, or perhaps general to all NT fileservers. We have a similar performance problem on our NT servers (browsing/acessing can be very slow) but this seems to be a general NT problem for us.

Re: VA7400 performance problem
1) Make sure the array is not in a degraded operation. Verify that there are no warnings or errors. Examine the event log (logprn), many entries during the time period of the poor performance (and you are not physically changing the configuration) could indicate an underlying hardware problem. Contact hp if you suspect an issue.
2) Next, update to HP17. HP17 firmware has a couple of enhancements for sequential and high utilization workloads. Multiple servers connected to an array can easily generate a high demand.
3) If, after HP17 is loaded and you still have a performance problem, you need to examine the performance logs (armperf). The manpages describe each statistic gathered by the array. You need to verify that the workload is evenly distributed to the two Redundancy Groups in each array ??? you may be using only half of each array. The easiest way to accomplish this is to import the statistics into Excel using the COMMA option in armperf. Using the LUN output, add all the IO operations together for the LUNs on each RG. This should be as balanced as possible.
Write if you need more help.

Re: VA7400 performance problem
- VA battery firmware should be 4.3;
- if using HP Autopath please use "preferred path" policy and set-up preferred path to LUNs created in RG1 (redundancy group 1) through VA C1 (controller 1) and for LUNs created in RG2 through C2. These are prefomance paths.
