All,

I'm unable to get orion (oracle i/o numbers tool) to run a test to
completion on a Dell PowerVault MD3000i unit, and would appreciate any
pointers you can provide (perhaps I'm missing a magic rpm??)

NOTE: orion on this server runs fine against other storage, such as HP
StorageWorks MSA-1000

Platform Details:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

$ rpm -q libaio
libaio-0.3.105-2
libaio-0.3.105-2

- storage interface: iscsi w/ multipath (have same errors w/out
multipath as well)

- luns (I've tried the test using just a single lun too):
/dev/sda
/dev/sdc

I also confirm that the luns are accessible using dd


The orion errors:
Simple Test: (error always occurs on the first attempt to perform
large i/o -- Point 27 for my test)
# ./orion -run simple -testname simplemd3k -num_disks 14 -
cache_size 368
ORION: ORacle IO Numbers -- Version 11.1.0.0.0
Test will take approximately 42 minutes
Larger caches may take longer

storax_aiowait: IO returned an error 27061
OER 27061: waiting for async I/Os failed
Linux-x86_64 Error: 5: Input/output error
Additional information: -1
Additional information: 1048576
lun_aiowait: storax_aiowait failed.
rwbase_run_test: rwbase_reap_req failed
rwbase_run_process: rwbase_run_test failed
rwbase_rwluns: rwbase_run_process failed
orion_thread_main: rw_luns failed
Test error occurred
Orion exiting

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks!

Orion is an application server not sold by Oracle. Is there some
connection between your request an Oracle database servers?

Hi Daniel,

I'm speaking of Oracle's orion tool:

There are forums at http://otn.oracle.com that might be a better place
to put your question forward.
