I am trying to figure out the MAX IOPs I could achieve on my existing Raid Card which is an HP P420i Smart Array Controller in a DL380 G8 server.
My first problem is I can't seem to find an actual IOPS rating from HP. I can find some references with broken links but the references refer to 2 different IOP numbers so I don't know which is correct.
50,000 IOPS with 8 K requests and 200,000 random 4K IOPS which translates into approx double the first value when you account for the 4 vs 8 K file size difference.
My next question is how do I translate this value (provided one is correct) so I can compare it properly against a tool like Anvil Pro which tests a number of values and then gives an averaged value.
Would I simply convert everything...
