Product Name ExaStore Two Nodes Clustered NAS System Hardware Available April 2008 Software Available Sep 2008 Date Tested Aug 2008 SFS License Number 1909 Licensee Locations Ra'anana, Israel The ExaStore Two Node Clustered NAS System is a highly scalable cluster of 2 EX1500 Clustered NAS Servers and associated fibre channel storage. The EX1500 is the basic building block of an ExaStore Clustered NAS system. These systems can contain 2, 4, 6, 8, or more EX1500 File Servers along with over a petabyte of storage, all presented to users and administrators as a single file system. An Exanet Clustered NAS System is the ideal choice for environments requiring scalable capacity or performance in an easy to administer system.

Server memory is protected using UPS and mirroring to pair node. Stable Storage ============== All memory in the ExaStore was used by the system for general-purpose memory and dynamically sized data cache.There is an integral UPS for each ExaStore node, which guarantees sufficient power in the event of power failure to dump the write cache to its local on-server RAID. In case of unsafe situations (e.g. low battery condition), the system uses a journal mechanism to synchronously log all write-type operations to the DX12 Storage System which are connected to all nodes. When power is restored, the ExaStore system is able to recover all committed data and metadata operations from journal files or dump files accordingly System Under Test Configuration Notes ===================================== Default configuration Other System Notes ================== Test Environment Bill of Materials ================================== Item No Qty Vendor Model/Name Description ---- --- ------ ---------- ----------- 1 8 IBM X3650 IBM X3650 Server (2*E5405 QuadCore, 8GB RAM - Server 2*73GB HDD) 2 8 Intel Quad NIC Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port PCIe Low Profile Server Adapter 3 1 Nortel 5510 Nortel 5510 48 ports Gigabit Ethernet switch Load Generators =============== LG Type Name LG BOM Item # 1 Processor Name Intel Quad-Core Xeon Processor E5405 80W 2.0GHz/ 1333MHz/12MB L2 Processor Speed 2.0GHz Number of Processors (chips) 2 Number of Cores/Chip 4 Memory Size 8 GB Operating System CentOS 4.4 Network Type 1 NIC Gigabit Ethernet Load Generator (LG) Configuration ================================= Benchmark Parameters -------------------- Network Attached Storage Type NFS V3 Number of Load Generators 8 Number of Processes per LG 32 Biod Max Read Setting 2 Biod Max Write Setting 2 Block Size AUTO Testbed Configuration --------------------- LG Target LG No Type Network Filesystems Notes ----- ------ ------- ------------- ----- 1..8 LG Client ExaFS 8 LGs accessing ExaFS (single file Network system) via the 10.64.0.0/12 network Load Generator Configuration Notes ---------------------------------- None Uniform Access Rule Compliance ============================== Every client mounts the same file system from the ExaStore cluster Other Notes =========== None None ================================================================================ Generated on Mon Aug 25 09:22:19 2008 by SPECsfs2008 ASCII Formatter Copyright (C) 1997-2008 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
