Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

1. Proposed title of this feature request
[RFE] Please re-run the storage tests to obtain both sequential and random read and write tests
3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Our customer would like to know whether the random read and write values given by the script attached to KCS article 3397771 are good or bad. The article gives guidance on the sequential results of that script, but the customer would like to check all of the results given by that script.
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
The customer is afraid that their next attempt to upgrade to Satellite 6.10 will take longer than expected.
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
We need to update the KCS article. Unfortunately, this requires access to hardware that support lacks.
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Run the script attached to KCS article 3397771 on multiple hardware choices, giving multiple results, and offer recommendations for good Satellite performance for both sequential and random test results.
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
no
8. Does the customer have any specific time-line dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
no
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
no
10. List any affected packages or components.
n/a
11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
yes
What I was getting at is:
* This user had problems with migrating from Satellite 6.9.9 to 6.10 taking a long time
* This discussion about read/write speeds was focusing on the system requirements for a migration and whether their system was sufficient rather than performance issues in the migration process
* But we know that there was at least known issue with 6.9.9 that was fixed in 6.9.10 - which was an unoptimized query which caused migrations to take days longer than expected https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2038995
So the disk speeds are not necessarily relevant to the issue they were experiencing
As mentioned, I believe the most likely cause for the root issue here was a query performance issue resolved in 6.9.10
