Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to test RAID10 array performance [Debian Wheezy]? Post 302918751 by drl on Thursday 25th of September 2014 09:41:07 AM

Hi.

Here is a report on several disk configurations that was done in 2009 using benchmark code bonnie++ (32-bit 2-CPU Athlon box):
Code:
Description-en: Hard drive benchmark suite.
 It is called Bonnie++ because it was based on the Bonnie program.  This
 program also tests performance with creating large numbers of files.

which can be found in the Debian repositories.

Currently I use RAID10 with 4 SATA disks with LVM on top of the RAID on a virtual-machine server. I have not run the bonnie++ benchmarks on that system, but perhaps I will now that I see that there is some interest.

The only reason I would use RAID10 with less than 4 disks is practice (as with setup, etc), not for performance.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
mega_sas - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS controller DESCRIPTION
The mega_sas MegaRAID controller host bus adapter driver is a SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports the Dell PERC 5/E, 5/i, 6/E and 6/i RAID controllers, the IBM ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA controller and the LSI MegaRAID SAS/SATA 8308ELP, 8344ELP, 84016E, 8408ELP, 8480ELP, 8704ELP, 8704EM2, 8708ELP, 8708EM2, 8880EM2 and 8888ELP series of controllers. Supported RAID features include RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, RAID spans 10, 50 and 60, online capacity expansion (OCE), online RAID level migration (RLM), auto resume after loss of system power during arrays, array rebuild or reconstruction (RLM) and configurable stripe size up to 1MB. Additional supported RAID features include check consistency for background data integrity, patrol read for media scanning and repairing, 64 logical drive support, up to 64TB LUN support, automatic rebuild and global and dedicated hot spare support. CONFIGURATION
The mega_sas.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through the related BIOS utility or the MegaCli configuration utility. If you want to install to a drive attached to a mega_sas HBA, you should create the virtual drive first from the BIOS before running the Solaris install. You can obtain the MegaCli utility from the LSI website. The mega_sas device can support up to 64 virtual disks. Note that BIOS numbers the virtual disks as 1 through 64, however in the Solaris operating environment virtual disks are numbered from 0 to 63. Also note that SAS and SATA drives cannot be configured into the same vir- tual disk. KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS
The mega_sas driver does not support the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP, 8204XLP, 8208ELP, and 8208XLP controllers. FILES
/kernel/drv/mega_sas 32-bit ELF kernel module. (x86) /kernel/drv/amd64/mega_sas 64-bit kernel module. (x86) /kernel/drv/mega_sas.conf Driver configuration file (contains no user-configurable options). ATTRIBUTES
