Symmetrix Performance Workshop

LG1 / OLTP1 uses FA 7E:0 and FA 8E:0 LG2 / OLTP2 uses FA 7F:0 and FA 8F:0 LG3 / DSS2 uses FA 7E:1 and FA 8E:1

Load Generator 1 Simulates an OLTP1/Exchange profile on 5x 2-Way-Mir and 5x Raid-5(3+1) devices each 4 GB. FAST/DP is enabled using Raid1 FC15K and Raid5 FC10K tiers. Workload runs 24/7

Load Generator 2 Simulates OLTP2/Oracle profile on 1x 2-Way-Mir META (with 6 members) and on 1x Raid5(3+1) META (with 6 members) with each 24 GB. The same host also simulates an OLTP2 profile on 5x TDEVs bound to a Raid1 FC Pool. FAST VP is enabled and uses Raid-1 on FC and Raid-6(6+2) on SATA.

TimeFinder/Clone script runs every Night starting at 1am UTC and replicates the two Meta Devices on to 2-Way-BCV-Mir Meta Devices. All Meta Devices are configured as striped Devices with 6 members including head.

Load Generator 3 Simulates two different profiles: From 6am until 8pm: OLTP1 like application profile with many Read Hits From 8pm until 6am: DSS2/Backup like application profile with 64k IO size Both run on 5x 2-Way-Mir and 5x TDEV Devices with FAST/VP enabled.

All Hosts are running Group Name Services and Device Groups have been created related to application used. SPA1 host is also used to generate ttp files every 12 hours.
