effective_io_concurrency with an SSD SAN?

От

Дата:
Given a system with 32 cores, an SSD SAN with 48x drives, and 2x 8Gbps
paths from the server to the SAN, what would be a good starting point
to set effective_io_concurrency?  I currently have it set to 32, but I
kind of feel like the right setting would be "2" since we have two
paths.  We don't often saturate both links but it does happen from
time to time.

One assumption about optimal value is that, it is usually the number of data
drives participating in the I/O system excluding the parity drives.
here is the article about setting it in Postgres Plus Advanced Server.
Have a look at it if you find it useful for normal PostgreSQL setup:
