And to begin I've a nice trouble in hands.
In a SAN structure, XP512 fiber based, I've some application offering bad wio% response.
Not all the applications, only the two heaviest in db sizes and data access.
One is SAP (~800GB db) the other is a Oracle Custom web appl (~330GB db).
Both of them are clusterized, both of them connected directly to XP via redundancy fiber channel adapters.
By the way I've a SAR -U response average between 35 to 70% wio.
Add info: in cluster only the node allocating DB shows this situation (on both appls; and this is something I find acceptable, this is the node who works on the storage with more frequency).
Thanks in advance for any suggestion,
Marco, Italy

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
How are your primary/alternate links laid out to the ports on the XP, remember that each pair of ports on the XP is controlled by a pair of i960 processors, one of which handles odd LUNs and the other handles even LUNs. If your LUN distribution is such that all the primary links to one pair of ports (A & B, C & D, etc.) is even or odd then you might see poor performance like you describe.
Not sure if you can get at this link, but you should read this doc if you can:

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
already tried to download that info cause I made a search in forum past posts, but actually it is unavalaible.
By the way I'm supposing it cannot be a miscofiguration in the structure.
These machines are actually working since 2002 without any previous evidence of this kind of troubles.

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
And still, excluding Glance and Performance Advisor, any other tool can report a good info on disk performances?

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
And you know that Glance or Measureware aren't free.
In some minds get's easier to waste system performances and user satisfaction instead than pay a price and have the best from machines.

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
You do this:
Fill out a purchase order for glance/measureware/perfview.
hand it to your boss.
the next time someone asks about anything regarding the performance of a machine, you point them to your boss and have them ask your boss it that purchase order was filled so that you can perform your job.
live free or die

Re: Reporting disk activity between XP512 and applications
Thankin John, for the patience, the actual cache amount on XP is 12 Gb, which exceedes the requirement for a total allocated space of round 4TB.
Are there some parameters in kernel that directly impact the way I/O is managed by the system?
Thanks anyhow
