Re: sar and VA7400
usually is quite accurate.
I see the disk have a very high % busy, and therefore your system has high %wio.
Usually %wio must be less than 10% on a weel tuned system.
You are trasferring about 5Mb/s, and it's not much for a VA, may be you are doing work on may small files.
Your system is pretty busy with user and system%... are your application tuned well ?
To get accurate stats i use
sar -d 3 100
, to sample every 3 seconds and not to interfere too much with work.
HTH,
Massimo

Re: sar and VA7400
'sar' measures storage perfomance at the host side. To have whole picture how VA performs use CommandView 'armperf' command to view whole array or LUN-specific perfomance data. This utility generates comma-delimited formatted file, thus you can import it to excel

Re: sar and VA7400
I think AutoRaid VA7400 works ok, disks are equally loaded only I cannot interpret armperf metrics Command Latency.
Does the value avque=0.50 mean that array is able to process requests without long waiting even if %busy is 90?
Should I rather concentrate on tuning application?
Thank you both.

Re: sar and VA7400
i think avque is AVerage QUEue, so a value of 0,5 if O.K., no request are queued for later service, even if your disk are 90% busy.
It might be a problem if you avque gets up to higher values.
