I have a 7200 with 36 total drives.. (8) 100 GB SSD (28) 900 GB 10K FC (150 IOPs per disk?) This is used soley for VMware and VDI.. I'm trying to find out if I have enough of the right type of disk for a new environment I am building.. How can I calculate total possible IOPs? Right now I have 41 RAID5 VVs on on my FC disks.. I'm guessing it's not as simple as 28 disks * 150 IOPs per disk = 4,200 Maximum IOPS for volumes that reside on the 10K FC, is it? Thanks for any replies.. |

You are right. It is no that simple. Your FC drives are able to provide on average that backend performance.. Given that each IO is on average 1/2 a rotation away on the platter. If you have sequential you get more IOPS, if you need to rotate more than 1/2 platter on average it will be less.... But this is only a small fraction of the total picture... Each R5 write IO will produce 4 backend IO... On R6 it is somewhere between 6 and 7. On the positive side you have cache, where a cache hit is a backend IO you don't have to do.... And with SSDs, I'm assuming AO which bring the effectiveness of that into the picture. So my best suggestion is either to look at what you're doing today (frontend IOPS), look at %busy on backend (disks) and assume that the new dat is like the current data and do those numbers. |
