%b for a lun only reaches 50% when performing read
Hi:
We're in the midst of evaluating a few storage products on multiple platform. One of the platform is Solaris (SPARC and x64). I've an iscsi lun mounted on a Solaris 10u11 V480. I'm trying to gauge what's the max this box + storage combo can perform. Below are the setup:
- 4 x 1200MHz USIII, 32GB RAM
- Mount 1 iscsi lun via 1Gbps NIC
- Created a ramdisk, with a directory filled with 1,000,000 1KB files created with mkfile
- copy this directory to the iscsi lun, %b for the lun is 97-100%. %b for ramdisk is just 2-3%, r/s and w/s is about 4000
