Dear All,
I have a F740 running Ontap 6.1.1R2 with 1 Gigabit and 2 100Mbps ethernet ports.
I am seeing very poor performance on these hosts from Sun and Linux clients, running Solaris 8 and Rh 7.3(2.4.20-ac2)
I am trying to dd a 200M file and i would like to check if the bottleneck caused is because of poor disk or network performance.
Is there an easy way to check disk performance while i dd the file to a particular volume(the netapp has 3 volumes and all 3 have equally bad results)
I dont think that the Solaris and Linux clients are configured wrong, i have an F810 that for now seems to be performing pretty close to my expectations.
nfs has tcp enabled on both filers.
Anything unsual to look out for doing a snoop etc.
Can anyone also confirm whether default mount on Solaris clients is tcp or udp ? I seem to want to think that it is udp if not specified either in the NIS maps or mount options.
Thanks,
