V6 vs V8

kspare · Thu Feb 19, 2015 10:09 pm

I'm curious if people are sticking with V6 or upgrading to V8?

We want to run HA, but given HA, L2 and LSFS aren't working yet, are we better to stay on V6 instead?

Hi! Tomorrow we`ll have an update with the following LSFS related updates:
Lot of fixes for stability, defragmentation and snapshots processing, performance optimizations.
Most notable ones:
- Defragmentation now works correctly. In previous version, it could stop in some cases and device files size grew up with new writes to LSFS device.
- Fixes for correct operation of LSFS device with synchronous replication. Most of fixes are related to technical snapshots that are used to synchronize HA nodes.
- Performance increased significantly.

So I guess tomorrow you should feel safe to update your SAN.

Does this new version handle any of the latency issues in my other posts regarding HA?

Thanks

Quick update for the community: we worked with Elvis and it looks like the latency issue is gone.

and when the new version will be published ?

Just to be clear, the only reason that latency issue is gone is because I've disabled HA and gone back to single host targets. Nothing is resolved as far as I'm concerned. I have a workaround in place.

That doesn't sound very promising

To be even more exact:
HA devices with cache disabled don`t have any latency issues as well. Correct me if I`m wrong, please.
So once the caching improvement will be uploaded to the website, everything should be great.
