So until you can test NFS or CIFS, we don't know if it's a general performance problem, or just an iSCSI problem. To get CIFS working, try this: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/accessing_opensolaris_shares_from_windows > Here's IOStat while doing writes : > Here's IOStat when doing reads : Your getting >1000 Kr/s & kw/s, so add the iostat 'M' option to display throughput in MegaBytes per second. > It'll sustain 10-12% gigabit for a few minutes, have a little dip, I'd still be interested to see the size of the TCP buffers. What does this report: # ndd /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat # ndd /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat # ndd /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q # ndd /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 > Current NIC is an integrated NIC on an Abit Fatality motherboard. > Just your generic fare gigabit network card. > I can't imagine that it would be holding me back that much though. Well there are sometimes bugs in the device drivers: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6913756 http://sigtar.com/2009/02/12/opensolaris-rtl81118168b-issues/ That's why I say don't just assume the network is performing to the optimum. To do a local test, direct to the hard drives, you could try 'dd', with various transfer sizes.
