Well, I don't know if this is the whole problem, but at least part of
the problem is this:
v odsd2 - ENABLED ACTIVE 174080000 SELECT
odsd2-02 fsgen
pl odsd2-01 odsd2 ENABLED ACTIVE 174082473 CONCAT -
RW
sd lst1dg01-02 odsd2-01 lst1dg01 6144903 31833891 0
c5t32d0 ENA
sd lst1dg03-01 odsd2-01 lst1dg03 0 71124291 31833891
c5t34d0 ENA
sd lst1dg04-01 odsd2-01 lst1dg04 0 71124291 102958182
c5t35d0 ENA
pl odsd2-02 odsd2 ENABLED ACTIVE 174085542 STRIPE 3/128
RW
sd lst1dg16-03 odsd2-02 lst1dg16 3007449 58028454 0/0
c5t54d0 ENA
sd lst1dg17-03 odsd2-02 lst1dg17 3007449 58028454 1/0
c5t55d0 ENA
sd lst1dg18-03 odsd2-02 lst1dg18 3007449 58028454 2/0
c5t56d0 ENA
This volume (and most of the volumes - this is just an example), odsd2
is actually two plexes. My veritas is a wee bit rusty, but as I read
this, the two plexes odsd2-01 and odsd-02 are mirrored. However, the
first plex odsd2-01, is a concatenated plex, while the second plex is a
striped. The implication of that is that if you're only using 20% of the
total amount of space for actual data, all writes are going only to the
first drive in the concatenated plex - basically, for writes, you're
getting none of the advantages of striping. For reads, you're just
taking a performance hit, since veritas uses some load-balancing to
determine which side of the mirror to read from.
Soooo, I'd rework the whole setup such that it uses 0+1 the whole way
through, no mixing plex types, and take it from there. Again, storage
vendor, database i/o patterns, etc. all vary, and thus your mileage will
too. But that's the first thing that jumps out at me as a performance
problem.
Thanks,
Matt
