Open-E DSS Benchmark with PIC

[To-M]

Thanks for the tests!!! I want you to check out a user called "Robotbeat". He has other tests running w/ FC and iSCSI - see the link below. I have asked him to check your postings as well.

Thanks for the update thx0701!

Was the iSCSI LUN set to Write Back?

[thx0701]

Yes. iscsi lun is set in Write Back mode ,too.
In heavy loading situation ,I strongley recommend cheap fc card.

I am waiting for my emulex fc card and barcade fc switch.

If you send me an email I can give you access to my systems (2 x DSS, Windows 2003 and VMware). They have the Qlogic 4Gb FC HBA's direct connected.
