Hi,
The test was done on a single ESXi 5.1u1 Host with 2 physical 10GB nics connected in a Dell M1000 chassi with two 10GB Dell PowerConnect M8024 switches. The PC M8024 switches is conected two Dell Force10 10GB switches and at last the Equallogic PS6010 Storage array. This is isolated storage network.
SERVER TYPE: Dell M710
CPU TYPE / NUMBER: Intel Xeon X5680 Processor (3.33Ghz, 6C, 12M Cache, 6.40GT/s QPI, 130W TDP, Turbo, HT) / 1
HOST TYPE: ESXi 5.1u1 (Dell MEM Installed) - VMware I/O Analyzer 1.5.1 (Disk2=8GB)
STORAGE TYPE / DISK NUMBER / RAID LEVEL / CONNECTIVITY: Dell Equallogic PS6010 (FW 6.0.2) / 16 SAS 600GB 15KRpm / RAID 10 / 2 iSCSI path
| TEST NAME | LATENCY/rd | IOPS/cmds | MBPS/reads | VM CPU LOAD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Throughput 512k 100% Read | 20.11 | 1583.53 | 782.46 | ~58 |
| SQL Server 64k 100% Rand - 66% Read | 10.05 | 2224.87 | 90.92 | ~23 |
| OLTP 8K 70% Read - 100% Rand | 5.72 | 3685.85 | 20.6 | ~26 |
| MAX IOPS 0.5k 100% Read | 0.75 | 36949.00 | 18.15 | ~100 |
I had a hard time to understand the numbers (see screenshot below), is it good or do we need to ses this over?
