Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure if they will be relevant, though. We don't talk directly with the AMS1000. We are using a USP-VM to virtualize all of our storage and we didn't have to add anything to the drv configuration files to see the new disk (mpxio was already turned on). We are usin

I think we found the choke point. The silver lining is that it isn't the T2000 or ZFS. We think it is the new SAN, an Hitachi AMS1000, which has 7200RPM SATA disks with the cache turned off. This system has a very small cache, and when we did turn it on for one of the replacement LUNs we saw

Have you considered moving to 10/08 ? ZFS resilver performance is much improved in this release, and I suspect that code might help you. You can easily test upgrading with Live Upgrade. I did the transition using LU and was very happy with the results. For example, I added a disk to a mirror an

I had posted at the Sun forums, but it was recommended to me to try here as well. For reference, please see http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5351916&tstart=0. In the process of a large SAN migration project we are moving many large volumes from the old SAN to the new. We are making u
