My apologies, I did not bother the first time with collection of any stats. I took the times it ran from the display at the end of the run, and the size of the qtree I was moving.
LOG: DUMP: 60892781 KB LOG: DUMP: DUMP IS DONE The transfer is complete. Elapsed time: 2 hours, 44 minutes, 33 seconds.
Then, using the above numbers I got about 6 MB/s (50 Mbits/sec)
---------------
On recommendation from some of you asking to get sysstat stats, I re-ran the test, however, this time I only picked a 30 GB qtree (Oracle dbf files). Here is the output from ndmpcopy again.
LOG: DUMP: 30502534 KB LOG: DUMP: DUMP IS DONE The transfer is complete. Elapsed time: 1 hours, 30 minutes, 11 seconds.
Using my previous calc, I get about 5,648 KB/s (about 5.5 MB/s)
The environment is: o 2 x F840 clustered o DOT 6.2.2 o 2 x GigE fibre (one primary, the other for partner fail-over)
Here is a portion of output from 'sysstat -x 1'. Note the CPU is not busy.
Q: permit me to ask again; does the ndmpcopy process (on the same head) use the loopback to do that or does it use the normal NIC ?
Thanks, George

Hi Gerorge,
is it possible that you see 50 Mbytes/sec which is ca. 180 GB/h.
The "sysstat 1" will give you kbytes.
Please post a bit of your "sysstat 1" while the ndmpcopy is running.

Hi, when I ndmpcopy from say, volA to volB on the same head does ndmpcopy use the loopback to do this ?
If so, at what speed can the loopback run at ? I can not seem to go faster then about 20 GB/hr (about 50 Mbits/sec).
I do have GigE NICs in the filer for regular nfs connections to clients.
Thanks, George
