Hey everyone,
I’m looking for advice on optimizing SAN storage performance to ensure our system runs smoothly and efficiently. We have a growing SAN storage infrastructure, and as our data needs expand, I want to make sure we’re maximizing speed, reliability, and overall efficiency from our SAN. Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!
Here are some key areas I’ve been focusing on:
- Proper Zoning & LUN Configuration – What’s the best way to set up zoning and LUNs for better performance?
- Monitoring & Bottlenecks – What tools (including Quest solutions) do you use to monitor performance and detect bottlenecks?
- RAID Levels – Which RAID configurations offer the best balance of performance and redundancy?
- Caching & Tiering – How can caching or automated storage tiering improve performance?
- Network & Connectivity – Any tips on optimizing Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections?
If you’ve implemented any best practices or have experience troubleshooting performance issues, I’d love to hear your insights!
Looking forward to your recommendations. Thanks in advance! 😊
