A customer complains that their SAP database now performs worse than it did before being migrated from traditional RAID storage to XIV. the database was configured using 20 x 200 GB XIV LUNs presented to an AIX 6 host OS where they are concatenated and striped into six volumes for the databases and logs. No changes have been made in the transition to XIV. What if anything can be done to improve performance?
A customer wants to set up a Windows 2008 cluster with three nodes, with application data presented a fifteen module XIV Gen3. All three nodes will run applications under nornal operating conditions. Each node has a single dual-port fibre channel HBA. Assuming a dual fabric SAN, how should the cluster nodes be zoned to the XIV within each SAN?
