A3404A performance

[Joseph Primm]

Anyone know where I can find published numbers for an A3404A adapter. Looking for information on number of expected max number of IOPs this adapter can handle.

Additionally - how might this compare to the A5158A adapter.

According to the HP9000 Enterprise Servers Configuration Guide - Effective 11/00

"HP's Fibre Channel for mass storage supports 100MB per second half duplex, 200MB per second full duplex. This may also be referred to as 1 Gbit Fibre Channel or full-speed Fibre Channel."



"Note: 100MB per second half duplex (200MB per second full duplex) is the maximum bandwidth supported by the channel."

This is then followed by the standard YMMV disclaimer.

I think your exact throughput will depend on your configuration, nature and type of applications and the data you are transferring. There will be no substitute for conducting your own throughput tests based on your own data.
