873373-B21 Use Case
Enterprise OLTP Database Performance Validation
Scenario: Database administrators use 873373-B21 HPE Gen10 Purley NVMe FIO settings to simulate an 80/20 read/write OLTP workload with 4 KB block size and queue depth 32 across dual CPU sockets. Outcome: Validated sub-500 µs latency at 200 K+ IOPS, ensuring SLA compliance, reduced transaction delay and predictable peak-load performance.
AI/ML Training Data Pipeline Benchmarking
Scenario: AI engineers leverage the 873373-B21 HPE Gen10 Purley NVMe FIO configuration to measure sustained sequential throughput (128 KB blocks, queue depth 64) on multiple NVMe devices during large-scale TensorFlow training. Outcome: Achieved 6 GB/s ingest per server, cutting model-training epoch time by 30% and accelerating development cycles.
VDI Boot-Storm and User-Login Load Testing
Scenario: IT teams simulate a 500-session VDI boot storm using FIO random reads (16 KB blocks, queue depth 256) on 873373-B21 HPE Gen10 Purley NVMe drives to validate end-user login performance. Outcome: Confirmed boot times under 30 seconds, delivered consistent user experience and enabled proactive capacity planning.

Questions & Answers
What is the HPE 873373-B21 NVMe FIO setting?
HPE 873373-B21 is a reference configuration package that optimizes fio parameters for NVMe SSD benchmarking on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Purley servers.
Which HPE servers support the 873373-B21 NVMe FIO setting?
It supports HPE ProLiant Gen10 Purley platforms, including DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, ML350 Gen10 and other NVMe-capable models.
How do I install the HPE 873373-B21 package?
Download the package from HPE Support Center, extract the archive on your Linux host, and run the provided install.sh with root privileges.
How do I configure fio parameters for NVMe testing?
Edit the fio.conf template included in the package to specify block size, iodepth, read/write mix and target device paths.
What are the recommended fio block sizes for NVMe?
Use 4K–64K blocks for latency-sensitive tests and 128K–1M blocks for throughput benchmarks as defined in the fio.conf template.
How do I set fio queue depth for optimal NVMe performance?
Set the iodepth parameter between 32 and 128 per NVMe namespace in fio.conf to balance IOPS and latency.
Which operating systems support the 873373-B21 fio setting?
Supported OSes include RHEL, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Ubuntu LTS and VMware ESXi with nvme-cli installed.
How do I run a basic NVMe fio benchmark?
Execute fio with the customized fio.conf, for example: fio fio.conf --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --output=nvme_fio_output.txt.
What performance improvements can I expect?
You can achieve up to 5× higher IOPS and sub-millisecond latencies compared to default fio settings on Gen10 NVMe SSDs.
How do I update NVMe firmware before testing?
Use HPE Service Pack for ProLiant or Smart Component Manager to install the latest NVMe drive firmware from HPE Support Center.
How can I monitor NVMe drive health on Gen10 servers?
Run nvme-cli’s smart-log command (nvme smart-log /dev/nvmeX) or use HPE SSMC to view SMART attributes and endurance metrics.
How do I troubleshoot fio benchmark errors?
Review the fio log, verify device accessibility, ensure the kernel NVMe driver is up to date, and consult HPE support articles for known issues.
Can I benchmark multiple NVMe devices concurrently?
Yes. Define separate job sections for each NVMe device in fio.conf and run them in parallel within the same fio invocation.
How do I configure CPU affinity for fio jobs?
Use the cpu_affinity parameter in fio.conf to bind jobs to specific cores, minimizing context switches and improving consistency.
What support options are available for 873373-B21?
HPE Foundation Care and Proactive Care provide software support, performance tuning guidance and firmware update assistance.
Where can I download the latest fio setting scripts?
Visit the HPE Support Center page for SKU 873373-B21 to download the current fio.conf template and installation scripts.
