I don't really have personal experience with NetApp filers. Maybe > they're good in NAS stuff, not in (iSCSI) SAN stuff?
When i told them my number they seem very surprised and said they do have better results ... If you get 924 Mbit/sec with iperf using that bnx2 card, then the card and > drivers should be fine. As of the card, while i can have very good result of this kind, i know by experience that in some workload conditions bnx2 cards simply fail. I have similar system that can't get past 60Mbps of http traffic using haproxy. > What distribution are you using on the initiator? What kernel? What > open-iscsi version? Distribution is debian/lenny, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 and packaged open-iscsi 2.0.870~rc3-0.4 Can you paste your iSCSI sessions parameters/settings from the active > session? Well yes, if you told me how or where to look :) Did you try with 512 bytes device blocksize I just can't: r...@zeus:~# blockdev --setbsz 512 /dev/sdb r...@zeus:~# blockdev --getbsz /dev/sdb 4096 r...@zeus:~# blockdev --setbsz 8192 /dev/sdb BLKBSZSET: Argument invalide --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
