Metadata servers — available storage worksheet

Use this worksheet to calculate the number of metadata servers that are required in your environment, based on the number of hard disk drives that are available to SAN File System.

Tip: If the application is cache-friendly (for example, TPC-H and data warehouse), use an application factor of 0.5. If the application is not cache-friendly and is create and delete intensive, use a application factor of 2. Otherwise, use a application factor of 1.
Application factor           
( Number of disk drives / 50 ) * application factor
