Hi, I have an ISCSI/CIFS server based on opensolaris 5.11 (snv_101b) up and running. Compared to the replaced istor (4 x 1GB, two interfaces used) solution, the solaris iscsi performance seems to be "not the best". The iscsi target is bound on an aggregation (exclusive) based on two bge interfaces. On the client side there are two VMware ESX servers (one in cold standby) connected. The servers are booting from ISCSI using a QLA405x HBA. On the network side there is a CISCO 4506 involved (dedicated vlan). For this configuration I've some questions: 1) Does anybody have a similar configuration running? Are there some special configuration "tricks", i.e. jumbo frames (how to setup on the solaris, cisco and ESX/HBA side). 2) How can I measure the perfomance of such a configuration in a objective, comparable way? 3) Does anybody have some experience with HBA's i.e Qlogic / Chelsio in solaris target systems (is this supported, does it speed up the performance)? kind regards Robert
