Testing Items
1. Storage utilization monitoring
2. Data migration moving time
3. Multi-LUN snapshot/DB consistency
4. Load balancing—path, controller
5. Failover—path, controller
6. Single table full table scan
7. 2 HBA vs. 4 HBA performance
8. Two tables full table scan

1. Storage utilization monitoring
HDS Tuning Manager report:
Controller CPU utilization
Cache write pending

2. Data migration moving time
Copy 30GB (2GB x 15) data from 9570
to AMS 2100 independent LUN
Both one path only (9570-to-F6800,
F6800-to-AMS2100)
It take about 10 minutes
預估 copy 800GB 需要 800/30 x 10 ≈
270min.=4.5 hrs
安裝軟硬體、設定、測試等等約需 3.5hrs
容錯時間 2hrs
總共停止服務時間 4.5+3.5+2=10 hrs
7
3. Multi-LUN snapshot/DB consistency
All LUNs of Oracle pairs have created
already (HDS ShadowImage)
Insert time stamp record to a independent
table while running stress
Split pair, record current time
F4800 mount all secondary LUN
Startup Oracle on F4800
Check time stamp record
Join pairs then split again
Check time stamp record for resync. status

4. Load balancing
Run Quest Benchmark Factory to
generate loading (TCP-B in 100 users, the
same follows)
Observe port IO from SAN switch
Port 0,1,4,5,8,9,12,13 should have value
Unplug FC cable from port 0, 12  port
0,5,12,13 IO drop to zero (path failover
also)
Plug FC cable back to port 0,12  port
0,5,12,13 IO get value
9
5. Failover--controller
Run Benchmark Factory to generate
loading
Observe port IO from SAN switch
Port 0,1,4,5,8,9,12,13 should have value
Unplug controller 1  port 0,5,12,13 IO
drop to zero
Plug controller 1 back to port 0,12 
port 0,5,12,13 IO get value (after 3 min.
boot up)

6. Single table full table scan
Run Benchmark Factory to generate
loading
SQL command to run single table full
table scan
Observe HDS Tuning Manager port
IOPS or iostat command on F6800
Gather statistics from r/s and w/s of
iostat output , it reached a maximum
of 3200 IOPS
11
7. 2 HBA vs. 4 HBA performance
Run Benchmark Factory to generate
loading
Run iostat command on F6800
Observe IO busy status b%
It showed around 35% busy for 4
HBA
Unplug FC cable from port 0, 12
b% value will raising, it showed
around 70% busy for 2 HBA
12
8. Two tables full table scan
Run Benchmark Factory to generate
loading
SQL command to run two tables full
table scan
Observe HDS Tuning Manager port
IOPS or iostat command on F6800
Gather statistics from r/s and w/s of
iostat output , it reached a maximum
of 4000 IOPS
