iSCSI SAN RAID 10 Performance -- Poor Read, Good Write
- by Litzner
I have a EqualLogic PS4000 SAN unit with the latest firmware, setup in RAID 10. I have 3 2TB Volumes on the SAN shared out via iSCSI on 2 eth ports on two different subnets. I have moved a test server over to this newly setup SAN, and my testing is showing me a problem.
I am getting dismal read performance in everything except a test with 32 queue depth (see attach image)
Write performance seems to be right about where it should be.
I have tried MPIO on and off, on was slightly better but not much.
