What performance tweaks are available for using DSS as a fibre channel target? We are building a DSS for a customer that is using it as a fibre channel target, and we want the fastest performance possible. If possible, we want to saturate their 1Gb fibre channel link, at the least. Maybe even get into the 2Gb region, where they plan to be eventually. Can the DSS really take advantage of 16GB of RAM? (I really hope so, since that's how much we're stuffing into our box.) Obviously, we have to use a 64-bit kernel for this much RAM. Is the primary kernel good, or should we use the backup one for better performance?

BTW, they will run about 40 VMs on the box, with about 8 different VMware servers accessing the storage. How well does this work?
