Installed two DSS V6 demo on similar Hardware with several iscsi volumes
and volume replication.
Replication has an own GBit interface on each DSS.
Four replication tasks each configured with 40MB bandwidth are running parallel,
each replicating with a avarage data rate of about 25 MBytes per second
(taken of status/tasks).
The statistics for the replication interface shows only about 60 MBit/s,
although there are about 80k packets/s.
80k packets/s might be correct if we assume 1500 Bytes per packet.
But no go with 60MBits/s...
Hum, statistics are really not showing, what is going on on the DSS.
Totally unusable, network as well as filesystems statistic.
For bond0 (802.3ad with Dualport Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06))
it curently shows close to 600Mbits/s send and receive rate,
while my switch tells me, that there's no traffic at all.
I believe in the switch data, since nothing connects to the DSS at the moment through the bond. :-(
Also disk statistics for sdb (3ware Inc 9550SX SATA-II RAID PCI-X) show currently
700m write accesses/s while no client is connected to the iscsi target and all replications
are stopped since hours. :-(
They don't report Intel 10Ge stats either, nothing over 300mbs, and I've seen this on 4xGE bonded in RR mode, nothing over 300mbs, however I know they are doing over 2gbs+ by graphing the switch side.
Also, the latest up6 demo CD doesn't work either, not sure if Todd is aware of this or not...
