Hey everyone,
I currently have an Sun M5000 with an ixgbe 10 GbE card directly
connected to a Sun X4540 system with an nxge 10 GbE.
I am able to read from disk at roughly 930 MB/s using the usam tool:
# time uasm -s ./testfile10g >/dev/null
real 0m11.785s
user 0m0.382s
sys 0m11.396s
If i do this over NFS I am only able to get about 104 MB/sec
# time uasm -s ./testfile10g >/mnt/usam-out
real 1m38.888s
user 0m0.598s
sys 0m44.980s
Using Networker I see roughly the same numbers with the X4540 acting a a
Storage Node using adv_file devices on a zpool. I know both the client
and server filesystems are not the bottleneck.
Both links show up as 10000 full duplex via dladm show-dev.
Has anyone been through performance tuning 10 GbE on Solaris 10? Any
notes/ recipes?
Anyone gotten better throughput than this?
