Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
Did you use a VLAN for your iSCSI traffic?
What cluster size are you using for the vdisk?
If this is a systemic issue with the 2012i, I won't order it.
Just curious if more people are dissatisfied than happy with this model.
Thanks!

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
Here's an idea. I bet we can cluster one hundred of our old RW CD-ROMs sitting in the storage room and have better performance then MSA2012i. I bet Linux community can write some app for that!

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
Been seeing some chatter about the HP's nic teaming software and iSCSI.
You may want to try them un-teamed to see what happens (if they are).
Regards...

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
Strangley, I have discovered that I can do a file level backup via the host instead of through snapshots at 2.5GB/Min. I dont understand how file based backup are faster than block based but since it is effective I have been using it.
I have no confidence that HP will help me anymore. It is a shame when you consider I have been a great advocate of HP for the past 12 years...
I am now looking at eating crow and committing to a much more expensive solution from EMC or NetAPP. I need the performance and it does not seem that anyone offers good performance at the MSA price point.....

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
IMHO the 2012 is a good device, considering it's price and targeted audience. Comparable SAN's from Equallogic/Dell or Netapp cost about twice as much. If you really want high end performance, consider the EVA line

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
I dont see an april firmware update. Can you give the URL for this update?
I agree in principle with what you are saying. There are some very rough edges that HP really should smooth out to make it more fully functional for those who purchase the device.

Re: HP MSA2012i terrible throughput
I do have this firmware. It did make a difference in overall performance but I still have major issues with performance.
I have tried testing with Windows 2003 and do some some improvement over 2008. However, the performance is still not acceptable.
