The disks in the SAN servers were indeed striped together with Linux LVM and exported as a single volume to ZFS. The ZFS pool was set up as follows: $ zpool create -f storagepoola raidz1 c4t8d0 c4t6d0 c4t12d0 c4t10d0 $ zpool get all storagepoola NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE storagepoola size 12.5T - storagepoola used 71.6G - storagepoola available 12.4T - storagepoola capacity 0% - storagepoola altroot - default storagepoola health ONLINE - storagepoola guid 13384031601381355037 - storagepoola version 10 default storagepoola bootfs - default storagepoola delegation on default storagepoola autoreplace off default storagepoola cachefile - default storagepoola failmode wait default > I don't know how many concurrent IOs Solaris thinks your ISCSI volumes > will handle, but that's one area to examine.

I have read the zpool and zfs man pages, but it's still not clear to me how I can configure ZFS such that it issues concurrent I/O's to the iSCSI boxes ? > I'd also suggest just exporting the raw disks to zfs, and have it do the > stripping. Thanks, I'll try this configuration as soon as I have the time. Bart.
