We run IBM FasTT600 Turbo FC controllers (now DS4300) on our servers. It is quicker than the old SCSI we used to have but I think most of the difference we've noticed is down to the 2gb cache rather than the speed differential of the connection.
For our new server we've followed IBM's recommendation and gone for 80 physical disks (10 per cpu which is the minimum they recommend) this should really cut down on head contention which has been a major problem for us up to now. Also don't forget to use RAID 10 rather than RAID 5. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 March 2005 21:16 To: u2-Users Subject: [U2] [UV] Anyone using NETapp disk array for UNiverse on HPUX 11? Hi All, I'm looking into an external disk array for our Universe DB. We will be on UV 10 and are running on HPUX 11.0. I'm looking at the NEtapp FAS270c Fibre Channel SAN disk array.. I'm wondering if anyone is using this type of device and what type of performance you're getting out of it. We will be implementing TL'ing and are in need of increased disk performance..
