Performance, Reliability, and Operational Issues for High Performance NAS Storage on Cray Platforms

Overview This paper summarizes performance and failure analyses results for the BlueArc Titan NFS server in the Cray CASA test bed in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsi. The goals of this project are: to observe and describe the file transfer performance and fault recovery behavior of the BlueArc under light and heavy loads with varying file sizes and system a access pattern; to measure the BlueArc Titan NAS server for reliability, uniformity, performance, and scalability in operational scenarios; and to develop configuration guidelines and be best practices to achieve the highest performance, most efficient utilization and effective data management using the BlueArc platform capabilities.
