  • Lustre server version 2.5.1 on RHEL6.5
  • 1 MDS and 8 OSS servers using Dell R610 systems
  • Four LSI Engenio (Dell MD3260) arrays with dual-redundant controllers
  • 16 OSTs using RAID6 LUNs with 2TB NL SAS drives
  • ~344TB of usable capacity

Benchmarking tool is IOR. IOR is a parallel I/O benchmarking utility that runs MPI-coordinated file transfers using . The test clients are "bullet" cluster nodes with Lustre mounted over QDR Infiniband. Maximum throughput is > 6GB/sec using multiple nodes or ~3GB/sec with a single node.
