Sample Profiles Just to give you an idea, here are some sample application profiles for Oracle OLTP, mail spooling, and HPTC workloads. Weve developed these profiles based on feedback from our customers and periodically tweak them (in new versions of software) to reflect any changes in how our customers use their arrays. You can also tune the profiles to exactly match your needs. Trays of disks ship from the factory matching the default system profile, which means that if you require only solid, general-purpose computing, you can simply create and present volumes from the default pool and utilize newly installed storage within minutes. If you need to tune storage for specific applications, the process is still straightforward. You can either employ one of the 15 factory configured profiles or create your own profile. This table shows a few examples of the preconfigured profiles and their settings. To create your own profile, you tune the settings shown on the left. The RAID level for factory profiles all use either RAID 1 or 5. The segment size at the controller tray is generally set to 64 KB for most applications, but highly transaction-oriented applications can benefit from the 32 KB setting. The segment size must be the same for all drives in a controller tray pair. The array type to use setting indicates the number of shelves in an attached array. The options are bandwidth, I/O performance, capacity, and best match. The virtualization strategy can be set to stripe or concatenate. Concatenate appends storage from any available disk space. Stripe selects storage from multiple virtual disks to enhance performance. The stripe size setting determines the size of the data chunks sent from the controller to the storage tray. The ST2500 series provides multiple ways to compete, the 2540 is a Fiber Channel-based host array, the 2530 is a SAS-based host array, and the 2510 is an iSCSI-based host array.
