PERFORMANCE ISSUES IN GUARDIUM DATA ENCRYPTION VERSION 2.0

Troubleshooting


Problem

Performance decreases by 2-3 times when files were written to guard point. What do I need to collect for Support to investigate ?

Symptom

Timex result on guarded directory is slower than unguarded one.

/home/GDE/NORMAL is an unguarded directory

    [root@/home/GDE] # timex dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/GDE/NORMAL/unguard.txt
    bs=1024 count=2097152
    2097152+0 records in
    2097152+0 records out

    real 27.35
    user 4.66
    sys 25.83

while /home/GDE/ENC is guarded.
    [root@/home/GDE] # timex dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/GDE/ENC/guard.txt
    bs=1024 count=2097152
    2097152+0 records in
    2097152+0 records out

    real 61.08
    user 7.55
    sys 70.68
