Hello all, I recent started employment with a company which has a lot of mysql servers (100+ is my best estimate so far) and have all of their database servers, masters and slaves alike, using one of 2 SANs for data storage. They servers are connected to dedicated switches with fibre to to SANs and the SANs themselves seem to be well configured and tuned.
However, it seems preposterous to me that all those very busy databases should, by design, have a common bottleneck and share a single point of failure. I am not deeply knowledgeable about SANs or their performance characteristics; my reaction thus far is pretty much intuition but I help can't but picture the simple analogue of single disk or a RAID 10 with synchronized spindles frantically thrashing back and forth to respond to tens of thousands of queries per second. Would anyone care to comment? Is my concern justified or am I merely confused? -- - michael dykman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - All models are wrong.
