In this paper, PowerScale F900 storage is used to store two types of file storage. First, it is used for scripts, binaries, and logs. This requires low bandwidth and must support NFS locks for consistency and proper visibility of changes. This generally uses the default mount options and is mounted with the following command on each physical server:
mount -t nfs 10.3.2.1:/ifs /mnt/isilon
Second, there is the data that will be read at high speed by the TensorFlow benchmark. To ensure an even balance of traffic across all F900 nodes, we want to create several mount points on each R7525 system carefully, pointing to the IP address of each PowerScale node.
mount -t nfs 10.3.2.1:/ifs -o rsize=524288,wsize=524288,nolock /mnt/isilon1
mount -t nfs 10.3.2.2:/ifs -o rsize=524288,wsize=524288,nolock /mnt/isilon2
mount -t nfs 10.3.2.3:/ifs -o rsize=524288,wsize=524288,nolock /mnt/isilon3
