What is the default RAID-50 stripe size on a Dell EqualLogic PS6510?

  • 772

We have a Dell EqualLogic PS6510 RAID Array. I have full access to the web-based "PS Group Manager" app, as well as the "SAN Headquarters" app. I have hunted high and low, and searched Google for the answer, but I cannot for the life of me determine the stripe size of the RAID-50 array we have configured.

Does anyone with experience on an EqualLogic PS6510 know how to find the stripe size?

Additional Info:

Page 19 of http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/business/solutions/engineering-docs/en/Documents/dvs-enterprise-reference-arch-citrix-blades-shared.pdf talks about the default stripe size being 64K.

  1. I found an oracle tuning guide (google docs link) that seemed to imply 1MB stripes, but I also found a blog post claiming that replication is done on 512k blocks.
