what ethernet switch are you using ?? try a crossover cable between the sparc and filer and see if situation is better, if so it is a switch issue with Full Duplex auto negotiation

Okay something is definately wrong here. I've just got a brand new u450 4x400MHz 4Gb ram. Still can't get more than 1.7mb/s off the filer. I'm getting just a tad narked off with the whole thing. Large sequential reads as I am doing now I should be getting a good 6mb/s...
Filer is a F540 256mb ram, 8mb nvram and DoT 4.3R4 network is 100mb switched, network full duplex both ends no network errors that I can see in /etc/system: set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0 set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0 set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1 set nfs:nfs3_nra = 6 set nfs:nfs3_max_threads = 16 as recommended elsewhere. Filer has "minra off" and mount options on the sun box are: netapp3:/ferret-data - /netapp/ferret-data nfs - yes soft,intr,actimeo=60,vers=3,proto=udp,rsize=32768,retrans=20,timeo=50
anyone have any ideas?
