so nothing...?
How about this:
I am using the iscsi software inititiator.
Is that limited somehow?
I connected one of my hosts directly to the storage using 10gbE copper directly...bypassing the switch and the fabric and recieved simular results.
IOmeter with 16k 100% read 100% seq shows about 18k iops @ 280MB/sec
Copying from 2 vms between shares shows 170MB/sec one way and 200 - 250 the other.
This is using a PSP of round robin per the vendors recommdations.
This all seems a bit slow given 10gbE
Ive tried to use a program called "throughput.exe" which tells you how fast it thinks it can send between 2 windows machines. It is showing me 700MB/sec or around 5Gbit/sec
Im confused as to why all the inconsistent results.
Id like to put this into production but will not do so until it starts performing consistently.
