We are new to the Netapp and are having the problem that while copying from the Netapp to either an NT (CIFS) or Sun Solaris 2.6 box (NFS), the throughput ranges from 24K/sec to 79K/sec. Copying from an NT or Sun is wonderfully fast (we have trunked the Quad Ethernet).
That sounds like a duplex mismatch between the filer and the other end (switch?). Ensure that you explicitly set each end to the same speed and duplex (e.g, 100baseT full duplex) because the filer doesn't autonegotiate very well (if at all?). On the filer you'd use something like: ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd aa.bb.cc.dd netmask nn.oo.pp.qq
Hope that helps, Luke.
