  • Apparatus and method to adjust one or more input/output parameters for a computing system
    Publication number: 20070055798
    Abstract: A method is disclosed to adjust one or more input/output parameters for a computing system comprising at least one computing device, one or more data storage devices, and one or more variable I/O parameters. The method establishes a change value and a stabilization period for each of the one or more I/O parameters. The method determines a current I/O rate, selects the (i)th I/O parameter, where that (i)th I/O parameter comprises the (i)th current value. The method then sets the (i)th I/O parameter to equal the (i)th current value modified by the (i)th change value, calculates an adjusted I/O rate, and determines if the adjusted I/O rate is less than the current I/O rate. If the adjusted I/O rate is not less than the current I/O rate, the method saves the adjusted (i)th I/O parameter as the (i)th current value.
