818.0. " read sequentila on HSZ's performance " by EVTAI1::POUSSARD () Thu Mar 20 1997 08:22

	Hi,


	Could someone explain me why we can't go past 9 MB/s, when doing 
sequential read on a STRIPE or JBOD disk behind a HSZ20 connected to a 
KZPSA.


	It seems that HSZ family are powerful for random I/O like databases 
I/O, but not for sequential read or write. Am I right ???

	The best to do sequential read or write is to take 2 KZPSA and LSM 
striping

	Thanks for your answer


				Gilles.

	You are correct, I think the problem is due to bottleneck at kzpsa, not the hsz.

	What's the I/O size?? In other words, could it be that the workload is throughput (rather than bandwidth) intensive?? ...and is the I/O spread over both HSZ20 ports?
