^how to test “fio” to multiple disks and monitor via “iostat -xtc 2“. I booted via live CD, made test partitions, file systems and mounted. disks took a while to initialize and settle in after filesystem create. monitored via iostat till all disks were quiet. then ran fio to test.
we observed the fist 6 disks (seagate constellation v1 SED) have a problem, but next 6 don’t. (seagate constellation v2 non-SED)
The “w_await” shows latency is 100x on v1’s, this was a reproduction of how they performed in ceph.

Thank you for the reply Anthony. Yes the R510 is of a previous gen. The H700 isn’t my top suspect though. It’s been clocked to pull 15,000+ iops (with SSD). I’m familiar with bottlenecking an hba with 24 disk chassis. I only have 6 ceph OSDs on the H700. (this system should be overkill for that. (ejected all other disks, only 8 inserted) I’ll try investigating for FW updates on disks and hba. will also take another look at disk health via smart. they are repurposed disks and have seen action to say the least. thanks. -Ed they would be SEDs.

A Dell R510 with H700 raid card. all disks in entire cluster are R0, direct write to disk, no cache. >>>> The new server and disk control spec out at about 10x the ability and IOPs of other servers, so I suspect the SEDs. >>>> >>>> -Ed >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io >>>> To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io -- Thank you for your time,
