Operating Systems Solaris One StorageTek 6140 vs Two (2) 2540 's? Post 302197606 by buddhavelvet on Wednesday 21st of May 2008 08:52:31 AM
Old 05-21-2008
Thank you everyone.

I have reached out to sun again, and will use the try & buy process as well. I've never had much success with the loaner pool.

We're going to test two 2540's, not (one + 1 expansion shelf), but two seperate 2540's each with it's own controller and HBA to the host. The 2540's will each have 1 x 512 MB Cache FC HW RAID Controller, and 12x73gb 15k sas drives... everything's going to be running RAID 10

The 6140 will have 2 controllers, for a total cache of 2GB, 12x73gb 15k fc-al
one HBA to the host... i'm sure we'll try it with two HBA's too..

The host will be a X4150, with 8 cores, 8gb ram, and 8x72GB 15Krpm sas drives too.

We'll play around with a bunch of configs and see what happens.

I think we'll be maxing out all the pic-e slots ..

I will do my best to post some results here. It may be a while. The try&buy process can take a while at times.
