EMC queue depth
We have a mixture of meta-volumes (striped disks) and regular devices which by default all are getting a queue_depth of 8.
My hunch is the metas (4 regular devices) should probably be at least 16 but possibly as high as 32.
We are going to experiment on this, but was curious to see what others have done. A search of the forums and EMC support site shows generic references to queue_depth but nothing concrete.

Re: EMC queue depth
Yes have access to Powerlink - didn't find any interesting documents. We actually are working with our EMC rep on this and they gave us some documents - but once again nothing specific.
Just looking for some other opinions to see what other people are doing.
We are probably going to bump some of our meta devices to 16 and see if there is any change - good or bad.

Re: EMC queue depth
Our queue depth is set to 16, according to our documentation on our setup documents.
We use 64GB Metas as well as 8.43 gb hypers for our HFS Filesystems. We trust the SYMM to protect our data.

Re: EMC queue depth
I never found anybody (EMC/HP/other) that could state if/how this would help. In fact found a few sources that said they didn't believe it would make a difference.

Re: EMC queue depth
Someone posted this whitepaper on Q depth a few days ago. It might help.
As a general rule, Array Controller Port Qdepth => no.of LUNs x Q depth.

Re: EMC queue depth
Any idea of what the effects to an application or system if the default queue depth was 8 ?
Is this a system throttle and once >8 application IO is told to wait but not error ?
I see the other extreme in the doc if set too high then the Array would return an error.
Is this analagy correct ?

Re: EMC queue depth
Yes your analogy would be correct. And yes .. coupled with your Volume Manager (LVM+VxVM) and other SCSI tunables - Q Depth can be a system I/O throttle of sorts.
"High" Q Depth Settings (in my standards q depths greater than 16) mostly apply to environments that adopt very large LUN size standards and adopt a policy of a Filesystem or Server Volume Unit per LUN.
For XP 1024 (or XP12000)? The per port maximum is I think still 1024. That is why for this kind of array - I always stripe accross LUNs presented on different front-end ports and still bump up q depth from the 11i default of 16. Hitachi suggested staying at 8 on our 9960 (XP512 equivalent)..
