RE: FC Performance vs SAS

How did you define the connection to the SAN? Do you have just one or multiple virtual connections?

Subject: FC Performance vs SAS

Hi Friends,
a colleague just called me about an end user having some performance issues:

- old box: Power6 E4A, 32G RAM, 18 Disks 139GB SAS
- new box: Power7+ E1D, 128G RAM, V5000 with 8GBit FC, 24*300G 15k Disk

the new box is slower when running some old style RPG reporting program,
there is not that much I/O and V5000 box gets about 1000 I/O Sek.
If running serial operations (like save into save file) the box can do 14000 I/O
and up to 550MB/Sek.

As we do not have much customers with a small P7 and SAN - does anyone
of you have experience with these types of config?
