Configuring a new MDS/MGS machine for our full blown lustre setup. OST's are x4500's following the layout of the sun paper on the lustre wiki.
This paper does not talk about the MDS though. We have a sun 2540 with 12 15K 300 GB drives. We plan to use 4 drives in a 1+0 with the rest being spares. What I am curious about are the following options Stripe size, Readahead on the MDS Raid I did not find anything in the manual about this, other than disable readahead on DDN hardware but that sounded like OST's not MDS. Also (not lustre related) if someone at sun is listening CAM is awful. But I will bring that up with our sales guy. Thanks!
