We are currently using Clariion CX700 disk arrays for B2D.  We did find that 
RAID-5 was the best performance for our testing.  We also found that some 
environments performed better at 4+1 and some performed better at 7+1.  We are 
in the process of migrating off the Clariion on to a IBM/NetApp 5500 Array.  We 
will be dusting their RAID 6 configuration.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disk backup - Storage Hardware configurations



I wanted to get a feel for what type of disk storage is being used out there 
for disk based backups.  I am specifically looking for SAN attached storage 
ATA, SATA and what type of RAID is used and how it is performing overall.   The 
NBU 6.0 tuning guide shows RAID-5 but I am wondering if anyone is using RAID-10 
or others.

 

Thanks, Monte
