I believe those are rebranded LSI controllers. I know the PERC controllers are. I use MegaCLI on Perc systems for this purpose. You should be able to find a utility which allows you to do this sort of thing while the OS is running. If you happen to find that MegaCLI is the right tool for your hardware, let me know, and I'll paste a few commands here, which will simplify your life. When I first started using it, I found it terribly cumbersome. But now I've gotten used to it, and MegaCLI commands just roll off the tongue. > To resume the issue, when we copy files from/to the JBODs connected to > that HBA using NFS/iSCSI, we get slow transfer rate <20M/s and a 1-2 > second pause between each file.

Baffling. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
