Disk I/O Tuning
Chapter 3: SUN
Conclusions for SCSI Interface Tuning
In
order to have a properly tuned interface, you must make sure the
proper SCSI options are set at the system (/etc/system) and bus as
well as device level (scsi_options). Make sure that the proper
command queued depth (sd_max_throttle) and proper command delay
times (sd_io_time) are set. In a mixed environment (multiple SCSI
devices with different queue depths and IO considerations) set these
at the device level or the entire SCSI system or bus will be drug
down to the performance of the least powerful device. Finally, try
to isolate tape or other low speed devices on their own SCSI bus as
their device numbers are usually set to 6, which causes them to
usurp service from other devices in the chain.
