ISILON IQ 6000i & high payload
I upgraded the whole web server, including revising firewall balance between servers, and now we have a big problem with our 100 000$+ cluster of ISILON IQ 6000i:
As shown in the graph, it just crashed yesterday, and worse the only way to retrieve control was to shut it down and on, as the SSH Shell wasn't responding, only the file service, degraded.
I checked if there's a disk problem, and all 12 disks are flagged up and running before the restart.
Today again, as you could see, the performance was degraded during 3 hours, before this box retrieve it's performance level. A 20 000$+ box that offers a 600Mb file service, something I would expect from my desktop PC with it's 3 disks, or from our 2 000$ 1U server box with 3 hard-drives. Without crashing.
The ISILON IQ 6000i is really unreliable: doesn-t support high payload, and worse crash when the payload is too high! The only solution seems to buy a 15 000$ support contract (that won't make it faster) or add other boxes for 30 000$+++
I will replace it with PC Server boxes loaded with big hard-drives, that are reliable and faster.
