A. Storage Testing Environment:

A.1 V7000 internal disks Pool --> RAID-5 40 disks SAS + 8 disk SSD (easy tier) in 1 pool

mdisk10 --> 8 x 600 SAS RAID-5mdisk12 --> 8 x 600 SAS RAID-5mdisk14 --> 8 x 600 SAS RAID-5mdisk8 --> 8 x 600 SAS RAID-5mdisk9 --> 8 x 600 SAS RAID-5mdisk5 --> 8 x 400 SSD RAID-5Note: But for this testing, SSD still not being used because stress test period less than 8 hours.

A.2 DS5000 virtualized by V7000 --> RAID-5 40 FC disks in 5 volume virtualized into 1 pool

V7000_A1 8 FC disksV7000_A2 8 FC disksV7000_A3 8 FC disksV7000_A4 8 FC disksV7000_A5 8 FC disks

A.3 Flashsystem 720 virtualized by V7000 RAID-5 virtualized into 1 pool

8 LU with each 300GB and 512B sector size

A.4 Flashsystem 720 direct connect to host RAID-5 2 LU 500GB and 512B sector size

Configuration: 50GB VMDK for virtual disk on each tested datastore assigned to 2 VMs.

B. Server Testing Environment:2 servers for testing:

a. BSD-16 ESX server using Proliant DL 380 G7 with CPU Xeon X5690

- 2 HBA with 2 ports each for connection to storage

- VM on Windows Server 2008 with configuration:

o 4 CPU

o 8GB memory

b. BSD-18 ESX server using Proliant DL 380 G7 with CPU Xeon X5680

- 1 HBA with 1 ports each for connection to storage

- VM on Windows Server 2008 with configuration:

o 4 CPU

o 8GB memory

D. Performance TestingAssigned virtual harddisk formatted using NTFS with allocation unit size 8KB.

Performance tested using iometer on the VM with configuration: random access 67%read and 33%write using blocksize 8KB.
