ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
ML370 G3, 18.2 GB 15k SCSI320 HDD using the built in SCSI controller, W2k Server SP3
We have a average performance of 15 MB/s. Nothing else is connected to the SCSI bus. Drives are not fragmented. No other services running. Seems to be quite slow to us. Has anyone same or different experiences?

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
That is definitely a slow performance for the onboard SCSI controller. Have you tried updating the bios?? Please apply the latest support pack as well. Here is the link which has all the updates for your server:

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
We are copying from one local disk to another - both 18.2 GB 15k SCSI320 HDD but both connected to the same SCSI channel.
Is using the second available channel a solution or should we look somewhere else for the problem?

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
Have you tried swapping the cable from one channel to the other?? If not then give that a shot and see if this does make a difference in the transfer rate.

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
Just a quick thought. Have you tried by replacing the SCSI cable?? If not then please do.
Thanks,

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
We stopped the SQL service when we copied the images and we made the very same test on the file server. Both tests were done when the network was down.
BTW, we have a drive array connected (RA4100 via FireWire) but its performance is very slow also. Max. reading perfomance is at 17 MB/s and writing is at 7 MB/s. Is there maybe a conflict between these components (BOTH servers access the very same RAID array)?

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
The only way to check about the conflict due to firewire would be by removing it temporarily and give it a try. What else do you have installed in the system?? I mean hardware point of view.

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
There is not much more installed in the servers. The file server has two tape drives installed but they are on the second channel of the internal SQL bus - so these should not affect the performance of the first channel, right? The only thing the two servers have in common - hardware-wise - is the RAID array. But the two fire wire controllers are in two different slots (in one server in slot 1 in the other in slot 6).
The fire wire controllers are PCI 66 MHz but the slots in the G3 are PCI-X (100 MHz) but this should also not affect the perfomance right?
Greetings,
Hadi

Re: ML370 G3 Expected int. SCSI Performance
I understand this should not affect the performance. Since the firewire controllers have not been tested in our environment therefore, it's hard for me to be 100% sure. The best way to find the results would be to down the server and remove the 3rd party out of the picture completely. I would suggest removing the software as well. Thereafter, check the performance.
