sizes when using disk arrays? Prefetch is usually recommended to be the extent size times
the number of containers.
Test design
This test design shows the extent and prefetch size tests and measurements.
򐂰 Extent size tests
Setup using the same database definitions as per the horizontal / vertical test runs. Using
a prefetch size of 144 throughout, run a series of loads / tablescans varying extent size to
determine if an extent size will be optimal (or detrimental) to the performance of the ESS.
򐂰 Prefetch size tests
