Other Notes

The tested system was a Gluesys AnyStor GW-C 2 node cluster with an HDS Universal Storage Platform(USP1100/USP-V model) Storage array.
AnyStor GW-C were directly connected with dual 1Gb Ethernet cluster links for Heart beat.
AnyStor GW-C is a failover active/active cluster. The version is AS4.1.5.
There are four gigabit ports in a NODE, which attached at PCI express BUS.
Each 2 port nic was aggregated sigle link (round-robin mode) in each node.
There are six disk controllers (Qlogic QLA2422 * 4, LSI SAS * 2) in each node.
The QLA2422 is dual port HBA (4Gbps) in PCI-E slot, which connected to USP RAID controller.
The LSI SAS controller is in onboard, which connected to SAS Disks for OS disk.
USP1100 RAID Controller has totally 128GB NVRAM (48 hour battery backed).
The RAID is comprised of 32 LUNs. Each LUN has 8 disks with RAID 10.
Each disk controller serves 8 LUNs, respectively.
OS disks in each server are mirrored with software RAID 1 for failure protection.
Uniform Access Rule:
Each node has 2 network port(N1) for NFS service.
Each Client has one network for NFS service.
There are 32 LUNs in RAID storage. There are one file systems in each LUNs.
Totally 32 filesystem (F1-F32) is used for NFS service. Each node serve 16 filesystems (F1-F16/F17-F32).
Each LG has 32 processes: 32 processes of LG1 access F1-F32, respectively.
Filesystem Setting:
Filesystem was mounted with noatime option.
Server tunning:
- Disable block read-ahead "blkdev -ra 0".
- Jumbo Frames were enabled "ifconfig mtu 9000".
For "stable storage" requirement,
The USP1100 cache is mirrored and battery backed for up to 48 hours, and from the USP1100 cache data is written to disk.
In the event of power failure the USP will flush all data in cache to disk before battery is exhausted.
