MSA1000 Performance
So, i know the MSA1000 is a dog, but i couldn't beleive its this slow. I have used IOMeter on a vmware server attached to the MSA in RAID 10 w/ 6x 146GB 15K drives, and another VM server on a EMC CX700 with 6x 156GB 15K RAID 5. Both are 2GB SAN's, although the EMC is obviouslt fibre channel drives.
I have 2x controllers in the MSA1000, both are the latest firmware and in active/active. I have tried also setting my VM Node to use Round Robin multipathing, but that didnt improve performance.
Here are my results:
2GB EMC CX500 RAID5
100% read - 60mb set - 120 seconds
157.60MB /sec
100% write - 60mb set - 120 seconds
145.80MB /sec
2GB Active/Active MSA1000 RAID 10
100% read - 60mb set - 120 seconds
71.70MB /sec
100% write - 60mb set - 120 seconds
56.68MB /sec
Any suggestions?

Of course not... Even if it is running with active/active firmware, one controller is still maintaining a logical disk at a time. With RR you could even get less performance, because the second controller must pass the I/O request to the owner.

Re: MSA1000 Performance
This is HP Forum and calling MSA1000 names is not appreciated.
Anyway, upload the show tech-support from MSA and we will come to know more, to know what is causing the numbers that you have pasted here.
