One StorageTek 6140 vs Two (2) 2540 's?

Hi,
Here's a quick update.
The project: migrate our Oracle E-Business Suite, dual node, (apps: 11.5.10.2 db: 10GR2) from Sun Sparc (2xv440 @4xUSIIIi1.28Ghz,8GB memory, 3510FC 12x73gb raid10 15krpm single path direct attach) to Linux, x86.
.
The goal: more bang for less buck. This was the same goal we had 4yrs ago when we replaced our Sun big iron dual E3500's+A1000 with two v440+3510FC. The payback on that decision was 18months.
.
Here's our progress: We've racked up two try & buy x4150's (2xQUADx3.16Ghz), and a 6140 (12x73gbx15krpm), direct attached, single path.
.
So far, the database has been ported to linux (RHEL5.2 64bit). Porting the apps is still in progress.
.
The x4150's are screaming fast compared to the v440's. After loading the OS a simple perl benchmark showed the x4150's running ~ 8x faster than the v440's.
.
After we fired up the database, our benchmark queries are running 10x faster. no 'tuning'. OMG. We were hoping for around a 2x performance boost. eek! :-)
.
We met with some sun reps today. We're going to get two 2450's too and see what if any config might 'beat' the 6140
.
BTW, racking and configuring the x4150's, and the 6140 was a breeze even for a stricktly solaris dude with zero rhel or StorageTek CAM experience. Take the time to read docs.sun.com.
.
More later.

Bought a Sun StorageTek 2540 SAN array a few years ago from a company that was going out of business. When we first set it up, we were able to get all the software (Common Array Manager) and firmware directly from Sun.

mac::apps::launch
Launch(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Launch(3) NAME
Mac::Apps::Launch - Mac module to launch /quit applications SYNOPSIS
use Mac::Apps::Launch; my @apps = qw(R*ch Arch MPGP); my $path = "HD:System Folder:Finder"; LaunchApps([@apps], 1) or warn $^E; # launch and switch to front LaunchApps([@apps]) or warn $^E; # launch and don't switch LaunchApps($app, 1) or warn $^E; # launch and switch to front LaunchSpecs($path, 1) or warn $^E; # use path instead of app ID QuitApps(@apps) or warn $^E; # quit all @apps QuitAllApps(@apps) or warn $^E; # quit all except @apps IsRunning('MACS'); # returns boolean for whether # given app ID is running SetFront('MACS') or warn $^E; # set Finder to front Hide('MACS') or warn $^E; # hide Finder Show('Finder', 1) or warn $^E; # show Finder (1 == use name) DESCRIPTION
Simply launch or quit applications by their creator ID. The Finder can be quit in this way, though it cannot be launched in this way. This module is used by many other modules. This module as written does not work with MacPerls prior to 5.1.4r4. "Hide" and "Show" do not currently work on Mac OS X. Apps that don't have signatures under Mac OS X currently aren't handled, except with LaunchSpecs(). "SetFront" and "IsRunning" can take a four-char creator ID ('MACS'), a bundle ID ('com.apple.Finder'), or a path (/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app). They both optionally take a second parameter which affirms that the data is indeed a path (for those rare cases where a path might possibly look like a creator ID or bundle ID ... you never know). "IsRunning" will return the PSN of the application if it is running, which you can then use for targetting the app, or converting to a PID (with "Mac::Processes::GetProcessPID()"), to send signals to it. EXPORT
Exports functions "QuitApps", "QuitAllApps", and "LaunchApps", "IsRunning", "LaunchSpecs", "SetFront", "Hide", "Show". AUTHOR
