Test Environment
HP Core SE SCSI controller
Seagate, Fujitsu and Quantum disk drives
Notes:
The C160 is equipped with 128MB RAM, and has both a single ended SCSI interface and a fast, wide, differential SCSI interface.
The C160 is running HP-UX 10.20.
The io5-hp10x benchmark is a home-grown offshoot of the iozone benchmark. It creates a new file system on the target device, does a large amount of sequential writes, flushes the output, unmounts the file system, remounts the file system and does a large amount of sequential reads. This is repeated with different values for the HFS file system geometry.
HFS is the Unix High-performance File System.
The drives used are Seagate ST423451N, ST32173LC, ST52160N, Quantum Fireball ST, and Fujitsu MAB3045SC, MAB3091SC and Fujitsu MAA3182.
