StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 1 0 S torNext File System T uning The StorNext File System (SNFS) pr ovides extremely high performance for widely varying scenarios. Many factors determine the level of performance you will realiz e. In particular, the performance characteristics of the underlying st orage system are the most critical factors.
StorNext File System T uning The Underlying Storage System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 2 RAID Cache Configuration 0 The single most i mportant RAID tuning component is the cache configuration. This is particular ly t rue for small I/O operat ions.
StorNext File System T uning The Underlying Storage System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 3 metadata operations throughput. This is easily observed in the hourly File System Mana ger (FSM) stati stics reports in the cvlog file.
StorNext File System T uning The Underlying Storage System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 4 it severely degrades typica l scenarios. Therefore, it is unsuitable for most environments.
StorNext File System T uning File Size Mix and Application I/O Characteristics StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 5 File Size Mix and Application I/O Characteristics It is always valuabl e to understand th e file size mix of the target dataset as well as the application I/O characte ristics.

StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Network StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 7 The Metadat a Network As with any client/server protocol, SNFS perfor mance is subject to the limitations of the underlying network. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a dedicated Metadata Networ k to avoid contention with other network traffic.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 8 Some metadata operations such as fi le creation can be CPU intensive, and benefit from increased CPU power. The MDC platform is important in these scenarios because lower clock- speed CPUs such as Sparc and M ips degrade performance.

Matching th e RAID stripe size i s usually the most optimal setting.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 11 InodeCacheSize 0 This setting consumes about 800-1000 bytes of memory times the nu mber specified.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 12 severely consumes metadata space in cases where the file-to-directory ratio is less than 100 to 1. However, startup and fail over time can be minimized by incre asing FsBlockSize.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 13 It also possible to trigger an instan t FSM st atistics report by setting t he Once Only debug flag using cvadmin .
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 14 The cvcp utility is a higher performance alternative to commands such as cp and ta r . The cvcp utilit y achieves high perf ormance by using threads, large I/O buffers, preallocation, stripe alignment, DMA I/O tr ansfer, and Bulk Create.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 15 • Zr: Hole in file was zeroed Both traces also report file offset, I/O size, latency (mics), and inode number. Sample use cases: • Verify that I/O properties are as expe cted.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 16 The latency -test command has the following syntax: latency-test index-number [ seconds ] latency-test all [ seconds ] If an index-number is specified, the test is r un between the currently- selected FSM and the specifie d client.
StorNext File System T uning The Metadata Controller System StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 17 The buffer cache I/O size is adjusted using the cachebufsize setti ng. The default setting is usually optimal; however, sometimes performance can be improved by increasing this setti ng to match the RAID5 stripe size.
StorNext File System T uning The Distributed LAN (Disk Proxy) Networks StorNext File System Tuning Gu ide 18 SNFS External API 0 The SNFS External API might be useful in some scenarios because it offers programmatic use of special SN FS performance capabilities such as affinities, preallocation, and quality of service.

When a Distributed LAN Server does not have sufficient memory, its performance in servicing Distributed LAN I/O requests might suffer.
