Hi,

yes Flexshare is a good idea when it comes to granting sold service to our internal customers. But i am a little step before that.

Nevertheless i think i can learn from the ideas behind Flexshare.

Thanks a lot for your help so far.

Jochen

HI Jochen,

have you think about FlexCache?? There you give volumes priorities. I know it is not exactly what you are looking for but perhaps with the help of FlexCache you can sell categories to your departments. Here is a small summary from a NetApp slideset regarding FlexCache:

FlexShare(tm) is enabled when there are system bottlenecks CPU NVRAM Disk

Control of priority by volume Five priority levels

Hi Toasters,

right now i am thinking about any kind of performance indicator for my fileservice. We do supply storage to other departments of our company.

Of course one thing i can sell is space. But there is another indicator which is performance. Has anybody good ideas how to define the performance i can grant to a special service?

I was thinking about I/O's per second but do not know what a good number would be. Has anybody ever had to work out those values and can give me something to think about? I am interesting in any experience you had with this topic...

I/O's, data-throughput, responsetime....And what are good values which i can grant with netapp systems? We use R200, FAS960 and FAS3050.

Thanks in advance

Jochen
