Re: Query: MSA 2050 Virtua Disk theorical performance

Hi Rodrigo,

 

The disk groups are not configured as per best practice recommendations.  From MSA best practices guide pages 18 and 19:

For optimal write sequential performance, parity-based disk groups (RAID 5 and RAID 6) should be created with “the power of 2” method. This method means that the number of data drives (nonparity) contained in a disk group should be a power of 2.

 

I have seen significant sequential write performance improvement when disk groups are configured as per this method. 

I dont think the sequential write throughput mentioned in quickspecs could be achieved with single disk group.

 

MSA 2050 RAID 5 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) sequential results: Dual Controller configuration, (72) 15K HDD, 9 drives
per disk group, 4 disk groups per pool, 4 volumes per pool
