Hi guys,
so thanks a lot for all the replies...
To put things to an end and summarize the results:
FAS6030 and FAS6040 are quite the same compared to CPU specs (still not 100% sure about the layout :D) The biggest difference seems to be the onboard FC is 2Gbit on the 6030 and 4Gbit on the 6040.
Thanks again for your time and regards
Jochen

i am wondering if anybody has an official overview of netapps
controller
hardware, and espacially the CPU types.
I found different sources telling me different things. e.g. i found an article on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetApp_Filer)
saying
that the FAS6040 is one die with dual-core. A poster from netapp
states
that it has two single-core dies.
Can anybody sched some light onto this?? My biggest interesst is how
the
FAS6040 compares to the FAS6030.
Here's some data on the 6030:
http://www.spec.org/sfs97r1/results/res2006q2/sfs97r1-20060425-00258.htm l 2.6-GHz AMD Opteron(tm) 852 4 cores, 4 chips, 1 core/chip (The 6030A is a clustered pair, so 2 cores, 2 chips per head)
The total results don't have a 6040, though:

and very little NetApp on the new sfs2008 benchmark so far:
Until next time...
