Hi Teng,

that depends on over how many OSTs you stripe, and how many OSTs there are per OSS. It is something you set up (default striping is all OSTs with stripe size 1MB I believe) You need to get you stripe size and stripe depth right (in the application, for example IOR) depending on how much hardware you have.

There used to be some custom tools, but I think most use IOR nowadays (I think) and do all kinds of test scenarios with that.

Thanks for your advice Ron. The point is that I want to monitor how much
time each OSS spends on the data

transfer on the network and how much time it spends on accessing the disk

for a specific application. Is there any tool that can achieve such
dissection without

modifying the Lustre code?

    That depends on the number of IO nodes, compute nodes, lanes,
    switches LNETS, OSSs etc etc.  it is hard telling

        Thanks for all your answers. I just took some time to understand
        how Obdfilter-survey works. It works fine for the Lustre local
        filesystem.
        But is there any Lustre tool that can directly profile the time
        spent
        on the network and on the disk for an application running at the
        user level?

        the random

             and sequential I/O bandwidth of the local filesystem of
        Lustre 2.5
             using IOR.

             Is there anyway to run IOR directly on its local filesystem
        without
             having

             to go through the network?


             Thanks!
