It seems the perfect environment for the JBOD I suggested as you do not want
all those sessions banging a RAID5 array.
Of course work flow is an issue, but the moving a TB disk to disk or disk to
tape is a couple of hour process if you work it correctly into your daily
processing and probably i
I must be missing something? I cannot saturate my 15 FC 10k disks (3x 4+1
RAID5) with 2GB Ethernet and 110 concurrent clients (330+ sessions). The
Ethernet on the other hand is saturated.
Out of curiosity, what happens with a disk failure?

Andy,
In your case, you probably have a good bit of cache in the controller and your
RAID sets are relatively small and you're using FC disks which are more
reliable, tolerant and faster than SATA so all is good. My data comes from the
SATA 7.2K world with six or eight drives per RAID5. Remem
Thank you for the reply; I should have been more precise with the disk failure
question.
Doesn't a disk failure affect the backup run, or are your pools on many
physicals so the loss of one is not fatal to the process?
I understand the data loss part; you have a short window of time for a low
That is correct: you can lose a couple of storage pool volumes (on a failed
disk) and still go on. The operation in progress writing to those volumes will
stall/fail (I don't know which, but I'm guessing retries probably save your
butt).
