Disk Storage Volume Pool Sizing
2003-08-21 20:54:43
Simple Question:
In a disk storage pool which migrates to LTO tape, what is the optimal size for
the volumes to be?
Let's assume the following:
Fast network connection(s)
1-to-many clients (depending on the time of day)
1000GB of fast local storage (SAN, SCSI, Fiber, etc.)
UNIX/Linux/AIX/Solaris (not Win32) server
1000x1GB volumes?
500x2GB volumes?
100x10GB volumes?
10x100GB volumes?
1x1000GB volume?
I have done extensive testing in the lab with this but have not really reached
any consistent conclusions. Does it matter?
