Sequential Slope (SS)
•
Sequential Dirty Slope (SDS)
Description
Specify the value of the Sequential Slope.
If the following equation is true for sequential data access (Read I/O), the access is
determined as sequential access. The default SS value is "128". It is not necessary to
change the default value for normal use.
If multiple volumes with different settings are selected and [Modify Cache Parameters] is
clicked, the field is blank.
The following conditions can be also determined as sequential access.
•
A sequential access that does not have successive LBAs.
•
A sequential access that issues multiple host I/Os at the same time and is unable to
be received in the order of LBAs.
A larger SS may cause random access to be determined as sequential access, resulting in
reduced performance due to incorrect prefetching.
