I have a PowerEdge 2950 with 2 2ghz quadcores and 32gb of RAM. I have about 50tb of storage spread across the internal bays and external JBODs. I have a ZFS pool made up of multiple RAID 6 volumes controlled by the PERCs. The drives are all green drives.
The software is OpenIndiana with the COMSTAR iSCSI target.
iSCSI performance is pretty much what you'd expect. 2mb/sec on small block sizes up to 115mb/sec (gigE limitation) on larger sizes. This is fine for most loads of my loads but it makes my VMs kind of sluggish.
Any suggestions on how to boost the low end performance? Any tuning suggestions that have helped?
Thanks.
