Forget it.. you will not get good transmit results
with bge driver as it
is not yet supporting LSO it seems:

Try Intel 1Gbps card, e1000g driver supports LSO

Which NIC/driver you are using?

initiator(linux)->osol: 630Mbits/s

linux->initiator: 733Mbits/s
osol->initiator: 297Mbits/s
It appears that osol is having a little trouble
transmitting information.

I would recommend to isolate Networking first.
I.e. run iperf between the
boxes (Linux vs. OpenSolaris), single thread,
512 bytes payload - this
will
somewhat emulate iSCSI traffic over single raw
device. See what you'll
get...

Setting that under Linux, I get 28.6MB/s read,
72.2MB/s write, 571.4
random seeks/s, 14.9MB/s rewrite. Noop doesn't
appear to make much
difference.

Could you try to set the IO scheduler to
"noop":
echo noop > /sys/block/sdX/queue/scheduler
and see if that makes a difference?

I have 2 HP DL380G4s each connected directly
to a FC JBOD (Powervault
224F). Each server has 2 QLA2200 HBAs so
multipathing to the JBODs is
in use. Each JBOD has 14 10k rpm FC drives.
I installed one server
with Linux and the other one with OpenSolaris.
Running bonnie++
locally, i get very comparable performance.
About 1000 random
seeks/s, and ~150MB/s reading and writing.
However, I want to use
this storage exported to other servers over
iSCSI. Under Linux, I am
using 2.6.30 and ietd and linux software raid
6. Under OpenSolaris,
b118 and COMSTAR and a zvol backed by a
raidz2 zpool. I appear to be
getting much worse performance under
OpenSolaris compared to Linux.
Benchmarks were run over a 1gb link to an
open-iscsi initiator
(linux). Any ideas to what might be causing
the low performance?
Benchmarks are located here:
