DSS Performance

[netsyphon]

I already have multiple targets on one volume group. Perhaps this is when the performance issue began? To be exact - I have 2 targets - both have 3 lv's mounted.

should be ok given you can accept that they may end up fighting for "king of the spindle".

I have a 4 disk raid 10 (SATA) with a 9650sx and I peak out at 112mb/s between the 2 virtual machines that are housed there.

I think tom is right, you didn't update properly to block i/o. thats going to change your performance by ~30%. if that still doesnt help then can you tell us what kind of switch you are connected to?

About hardcoding interfaces: Is that you never want to disable auto-neg on only 1 side - if you hardcode one side you need to go ahead and hardcode your switch as well.

you definitely want to update all your firmware on the mainboard, drives and controller card!

I have created a new target after the update with the same performance. If have tried two switches - Netgear GS724T and Allied Telesis 8724XL.
