StorNext File System Tuning Guide 1 StorNext File System T uning The StorNext File Syste m (SNFS) provides ex tremely high per formance for widely varying scenarios. Many factors determine the level of performance you will realize. In particular , the performance characteristics of the underlying stor age system are the most critical factors.
StorNext File System Tuning The Underlying Storage System 2 StorNext File System Tuning Guide RAID Cache Configuration The single most important RAID tuning component is the cache configuration.
StorNext File System Tuning The Underlying Storage System StorNext File System Tuning Guide 3 operations involve a very high rate of small writes to the metadata disk, so disk latency is the critic al perf ormance factor . Write-bac k caching can be an effective approach to mini mizing I/O latency and optimi zing metadata operations throughput.
StorNext File System Tuning The Underlying Storage System 4 StorNext File System Tuning Guide While read-ahead caching improves sequential read performance, i t does not help highly tra nsactional performance. F urthermore, some SNFS customers actually observe maximu m large seque ntial read throughput by disabling caching.
StorNext File System Tuning File Size Mix and Application I/O Characteristics StorNext File System Tuning Guide 5 It can be useful to use a tool such as lmdd to help determine the storage system performance characteristic s and choose optimal settings.

StorNext File System Tuning SNFS and Virus Checking StorNext File System Tuning Guide 7 If performance requirements canno t be achieved with NFS or CIFS, consider using a StorNext Distributed LAN client or fibre-chan nel attached client. It can be useful to use a tool such as netperf to help verify network performance characteristics.

However , it is critical that the MDC system have enough physical memory available to ensure that the FSM process doesn’t get swapped out.

StorNext File System Tuning The Distributed LAN (Disk Proxy) Networks 20 StorNext File System Tuning Guide The dircachesize option sets the size of th e directory information cache on the client. This cache can dramatically improve the speed of readdir operations by reducing metadata network message traffic between the SNFS client and FSM.
StorNext File System Tuning The Distributed LAN (Disk Proxy) Networks StorNext File System Tuning Guide 21 It is best practice to have all SN FS Distributed LAN clients and servers directly attached to the same ne twork switch. A router be tween a Distributed LAN client and server co uld be easily overwhelmed by the data rates required.
