Hello,

Hardware: 2 x HP DL 380 G5, 2 GB RAM, SMART 6i RAID Controller with 64 MB RAM (no Battery buffered Write Cache) 4 x 146 GB SAS 10K (Raid 5)

iSCSI/NAS Performance as expected - but Replication Performance very slow (400 -700 KB).
(iSCSI/NAS - same results).

System is configured as Lab - so there ist no workload on it.

Same effekt with HP ML 370 G5 (two P400 RAID Controller) and HP ML 320s (one P400i RAID
Controller). iSCSI Performance with VMWare good (up to 80 MB/Sec) but poor Replication
Performance.

In both cases Network Performance ist between 90 - 95 MB/Sec via Gigabit Ethernet (tested with Tool from OPEN-E)

General Problems with HP SMART Raid Controller and OPEN-E Replication?

Thx!
