Databases are quite easy to determine the random vs sequential workloads using the built-in tools. Other applications may be more difficult.</P><P></P><P>Sequential workloads are handled very easily. However, random workloads are a bit more problematic.</P><P></P><P>To help you better, it would be good to know the application and what, if any, problem you are wanting to solve.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Craig</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:42:41 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Random-or-sequential/m-p/52545#M12284 craigs 2013-01-02T15:42:41Z
