Hi, I am not sure whether this is the right place for my question. But I think it should be a general one.
I am running netperf tcp_stream against Nevada build 78 on my x86 system. This system is configured with a Intel Core2 processor and 2G sized memory. I installed a dual ports Pro1000 NIC card and test the tcp_stream performance through these two NIC ports. The first time I run netperf on the native OS. The utilization of both ports are 100% and the bandwidth of each is about 120MB/s. Then, I build and Cap-Eye Installe onnv kernel from the b87 onnv source code. To my surprise, the utilization of each ports reduces to 85% and the bandwidth is 100MB/s in average (not balanced, say, one is 105 and another is 95). I thought the right way is to BFU the system, not just Cap-Eye install the kernel. So I nightly and BFU the system. But the result is just the same as the previous Cap-Eye Installed system. So what is the difference between the native and BFUed Nevada? How can get th same performance on the BFUed system? Thanks, -Baolu _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
