Auto-tiering Performance IOPs: MSA 2060 iSCSI DAC > DAC VMware hosts
Hi - I was wondering if this was right:
MSA 2060 iSCSI
1.9GB SSD RAID1
6x 10K SFF 1.8TB RAID5
Auto-tiered to a performance volume
Windows VM using IOmeter 16 outstanding, 1 worker default 500GB RAW disk
about 5,000 IOPs full bw 10Gbps throughput, no errors or latency on paths RR to Targets A+B
It seems right - assuming 180 IOPS x 5 10k disks = 900 IOPs. 5,000 IOPs is fast for a little SAN like this. I understand VMware DAC isn't "supported" but I've run software iSCSI with no switch / DAC several times with 3x ESXi hosts with zero issues. I belive it's because almost all don't understand how to setup VMware software iSCSI and binding to a single pNIC initiator on separate broadcast domains... That's how it's done - each target has its own separate network and IP scheme as do the initiators. I was an insturctor for VMware and DataCore Software for almost a decade... I'm tired for HPE engineers stopping at "it isn't supported" and not answering a simple question!
