Thread: Poor Performance on FC Target Mode

    Unhappy Poor Performance on FC Target Mode

    Hi all!

    Recently I established a storage box and install the Open-E DSS V6 trial edition. The storage box was composed of:
    1*Intel Xeon E5504 CPU,
    2*2GB DDR3-1066 ECC+REG SDRAM,
    1*Adaptec 5805 RAID controller with 8*Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 300GB SAS derviers in RAID 5 array,
    1*Qlogic QLE2562 dual-port 8Gb FC HBA.
    On this box I created 2 LUs, one for OS installation, while the other for performance test.
    Another server was connected to the created LUs with a Qlogic QLE2560 single-port 8Gb FC HBA. They were connected with the Brocade 300 switch. Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise was installed to the first LU. Then I tested the transfer rate of the second LU by HDTune. The average rate is only about 120MB/s. I copied a file of 2GB from the first LU to the second LU, and the speed shown is also about 100MB/s.
    My question is whether this is the real performance of my system, or should I do something to optomize the storage system?
    Thanks!

    Because i'd like to use this system for multiple servers/initiators environment in future, I have not tested PTP mode. Thanks for your advice, and I will try it.
