<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=387010008-22092004>Are there any
performance metrics available concerning different gfs pool manager
configurations? We intent to use gfs in an EMC san storage environment.
Our preferred storage configuration is to bind only one big storage device
(up to 2 TByte) with gfs pool volume manager, leaving all configuration and
administration efforts on the storage site.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=387010008-22092004>An alternative
configuration could be the usage of a high number (up to 50) of small
devices, which will be integrated and managed by pool volume
manager.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=387010008-22092004>What is the best
strategy to get the best performance with minimized admin effort? Are
there any experiences with different gfs configurations?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
