Hi Oracle folks,
I'm relatively new to the capacity planning business (and oracle-L) and am
looking for some other real world calibrate_io metrics to compare against.
 How do these metrics compare to what you've seen?

I know it ultimately comes down to SLA's and what our storage vendor's
promise (trying to get that info) but I'd like to have a frame of reference
for comparison.

I guess what I'm looking for is whether what I'm seeing is a Ford (Opel for
some of you):

1) Focus
2) Mustang
3) Shelby GT500
4) other? :)

Our system:

Oracle 11.2.0.3 on RHEL5 x64 (virtualized via vmware)
HP Left hand P4500 G2 120TB storage cluster with 120 1,000 GB 7.2K MDL SAS
disk drives (RAID 10)

*My script:*
set serveroutput on

declare
     l_latency   integer;
     l_iops      integer;
     l_mbps      integer;
 begin
    dbms_resource_manager.calibrate_io (120,10,l_iops,l_mbps,l_latency);
     dbms_output.put_line('I/O Ops/sec = '||l_iops);
     dbms_output.put_line('Actual Latency = '||l_latency);
     dbms_output.put_line('MB/sec = '||l_mbps);
end;
/

*Results:*
sys@MUDRPRD> @calibrate_io.sql
*I/O Ops/sec = 6922*
*Actual Latency = 10*
*MB/sec = 655*

begin
 print_table('
select max_iops,max_mbps,max_pmbps,latency,num_physical_disks from
DBA_RSRC_IO_CALIBRATE
');
end;
/

*MAX_IOPS                      : 6922*
*MAX_MBPS                      : 655*
*MAX_PMBPS                     : 372*
*LATENCY                       : 10*
*NUM_PHYSICAL_DISKS            : 120*

Any feedback would be appreciated!

thank you,

Anthony Sanchez
