Hello everyone,
We currently have a HP P2000 G3 iSCSI SAN, with 12 7.2K RPM N/L SAS Disks. We have the SAN configured as a RAID6 with one hot spare, so there are 11 disks in the RAID6 array. I would like to know (if possible) from some documentation or some website the maximum number of IOPS that this SAN should be able to handle.
I have looked on: http:/
Raw Storage IOPS = 76 IOPS/Disk * 11 = 836
RAID6 Write Penalty = 6
Functional IOPS=((836*44%)/6)+(836*56%) = 529
How do I know which one is correct, or is there somewhere else I can get a definitive answer on the number of IOPS I can put on this SAN? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
