If you see lesser performance on the RAID5 (which is likley), remember the card has an XOR engine that may be over taxed, additioally remember, to calculate that XOR the controller has to perform multiple reads to aquire the bits to XOR. The size of the stripe on the RAID 5 may have some impact although this is a complex interaction between the physics of getting the drive heads to where they need to be, limitations of the XOR engine and behavior of the filesystem, particularly cluster size and where meta data gets stored on the array. (Tradition disk layouts on RAIDed voluems can lead to IO being concentrated on one spindle). In short RIAD 5 ins't good for performance, particulary write performance. You may want to try a RAID1 configuration although you will obviously loose disk space. With some applicatins you may see better perfomance with a software RAID than some older controllers, allthough your data is probabley safer on a hardware RAID. You don't mention your application it may be significant. You may be able to tune your application. Dedicated servers from HP and others are often shipped with the write cache on the SCSI disks disabled. This is the safest confiuration for your data. However it is the slowest, particularley if your application waits on data getting commited to the fs. Your controller has 32MB RAM, do you know if this is used as a write cache? It may require a rechargeable battery pack to be used as such. These are often sold as an option (don't know if this is the case for HP NetRiad). Obtaing battery and more RAM if you can expand the 32MB may help.(Again don't know specifics of this card.) If the amr driver makes individual spindles available as passX devices, you may be able to use camcontrol to alter the relevent scsi page to allow use of the disks cache for writing. However you can do great harm to both your disk and data with camcontrol *AND* the RAID 5 read to write requirement is far more likeley to be your problem. Even if you were to do this and get better performance your data would be less secure in this configuration.

Under Linux, the mpt driver is responsding to RAID events, such as if you insert a drive with safte device, the driver will do domain validation. But the driver is not having the raid stack, its in the firmware. You will need one of the following cards LSI20320-R,LSI21320-R,LSI22320-R, your host adapter should be having a sticker saying that. Firmware download is here: http://www.lsilogic.com/downloads/selectDownload.do#a Step 1: SCSI Host Bus Adapter Step 2: Ultra 320 Host Bus Adpater Step 3: LSI20320-R or LSI21320-R or LSI22320-R The IM or IME firmware is having RAID-1 support.

We have a bunch of IBM x335's with an on-board LSI Logic 1020, which I think is a single-channel version of the 1030. The x335 has a hotswap SCSI backplane, with room for two hotswap disks. If we use these independently, performance is fine. However, as soon as we use the two disks in a RAID-1 configuration (made from the LSI BIOS), I/O-performance goes way down - writes are averaging around 1.9-2.5 MB/sec, and reads are anywhere between 5-15 MB/sec. My primitive test is dd'ing 100 MB data from /dev/zero to a file, and that averages around 45 seconds. The same test performed on the same server, using a stock RedHat Linux 8, averages around 2 seconds. I've tested on 8 more-or-less identical x335's running FreeBSD 4.9 and once with 5.2.1, and all give the same, poor performance. Google only finds two things related to this - Matthew Jacob mentioned he got limited read performance[1] but I'm not sure this is related, and Eimar Koort seemed to experience[2] the same problems as us, but got no answer. dmesg details: mpt0: port 0x2300-0x23ff mem 0xfbfe0000- 0xfbfeffff,0xfbff0000-0xfbffffff irq 9 at device 1.0 on pci1 pass1 at mpt0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 pass1: Fixed Processor SCSI-2 device pass1: 3.300MB/s transfers da0 at mpt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 70001MB (143364061 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 8924C) The chip on the mainboard says "LSILogic 1020 B0". Firmware/BIOS for both mainboard, drives and SCSI-controller are the newest available on IBM's support-site, but as mentioned, RedHat performs fine and I'd guess Windows would too, so it seems it's an issue related to FreeBSD only, and then, only when using RAID. I'll gladly test experimental stuff to find the cause of this. We have a lot of these in production, but I can scrounge up 1-3 boxes for testing different configurations/drivers/OS'es if anybody would like to help us.

I'm not quite sure how to do that - I've enabled CAMDEBUG and set CAM_DEBUG_FLAGS=CAM_DEBUG_INFO|CAM_DEBUG_CDB - do I also need to set CAM_DEBUG_(BUS|TARGET|LUN) to get debug from boot? I tried a boot -v, and it shows the following: (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): MODE SENSE(06). CDB: 1a 0 a 0 14 0 (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): Invalid field in CDB (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): INQUIRY. CDB: 12 1 80 0 ff 0 (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 (probe1:mpt0:0:1:0): Invalid field in CDB Not sure if that is relevant or not. Also, there was an "mpt0: soft reset" - unfortunately, I haven't got physical access right now so I can't do a full power cycle.

I have found that with the 7902 [ahd], i get repeated scsi bus resets [time outs]. With an adaptec 2200s controller [which also uses the 7902], i get the same behaviour. The other drives don't need to be active, just booting from one with the other 3 quiescent on the bus is sufficient. The error usually occurs as the os is coming up, you see the banner of SCB timed out, reset [when using AHD], or a scsi bus reset message [aac]. the 10K drive is using seagate firmware 007, the 15K is using seagate firmware 006. [as per http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/u320_firmware.html] The AAC kept resetting the bus when in its bios trying to rebuild the raid, so i'm guessing its not a driver issue. I'm sure this is not terminator, electrical, power, cable, etc., they have all been swapped, checked, etc. Multiple systems have been tried.

It seems Matthew Jacob is tied up with other things than FreeBSD presently, so I'm not sure if he's able to help. I'm assuming the Linux driver detects the hidden drives and sends the above- mentioned SCSI-commands. Knowing next to nothing about the kernel, I'm not quite sure I'll be able to make the required changes to the driver source myself, but I'm willing to try. Is Domain Validation needed to do this? It isn't enabled in the current FreeBSD driver as I understand it. Also, could you point to where in the Linux-driver the hidden-disk-parameters are negotiated? -- Best Regards Kenneth Schmidt From owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Apr 16 08:11:29 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7148116A4CE for ; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 08:11:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail0.lsil.com (mail0.lsil.com [147.145.40.20]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 42F8343D3F for ; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 08:11:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Emoore@lsil.com) Received: from milmhbs0.lsil.com (mhbs.lsil.com [147.145.1.30]) by mail0.lsil.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id i3GFBDcq016023; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 08:11:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from EXA-ATLANTA.se.lsil.com (atl1.se.lsil.com [147.145.16.4]) by milmhbs0.lsil.com (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i3GFD5vG012833; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 08:13:06 -0700 Received: by exa-atlanta.se.lsil.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) id ; Fri, 16 Apr 2004 11:11:26 -0400 Message-ID: <0E3FA95632D6D047BA649F95DAB60E570442C3D7@exa-atlanta.se.lsil.com> From: "Moore, Eric Dean" To: Kenneth Vestergaard Schmidt Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 11:11:17 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.39 cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Subject: RE: IBM x335 onboard LSI 1020 (mpt) poor performance X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 15:11:29 -0000 Domain validation is used to correctly tune negotiation transfers over the bus.
