2 IOZONE benchmark test configuration and method Each benchmark run was performed under the following conditions: Tests launched from inactive metadata server (mds2) Seven cluster nodes used as clients running the following software: Bright 5.0/Scientific Linux 5.4 Linux kernel el5 Qlogic OFED stack Lustre patch-less client IOZONE version Lustre filesystem unmounted between successive tests to clear caches Clients balanced across available OSS/OSTs for optimum performance Results shown in this report were obtained from a number of benchmark runs and condensed in a single output to allow caches to be cleared between individual tests All tests were performed with the metadata service running on server mdt1: Dell PowerEdge R610 with dual E Ghz processors and 12GB RAM Dual mirrored 146GB SAS6 system disks MD3200 with 8 x 300GB 15,000RPM SAS disks configured in RAID0/1 Qlogic 7340 QDR Infiniband card Object storage server configuration for servers oss1, oss2 and oss3: Dell PowerEdge R510 with dual E Ghz processors and 12GB RAM Dual mirrored 146GB SAS6 system disks 12 x 1TB 7,200RPM SATA disks configured in RAID6 on PERC H700 (ost1) MD1200 with 12 x 1TB 7,200RPM SAS disks configured in RAID6 on PERC H800 (ost2) MD1200 with 12 x 1TB 7,200RPM SAS disks configured in RAID6 on PERC H800 (ost3) Qlogic 7340 QDR Infiniband card Qlogic QDR Infiniband switch Dell 6248 out-of-band gigabit Ethernet management switch Copyright 2010 Alces Software Ltd.
