It doesn't seem to matter what size
file, it is just a longer wait with a big file. I'm using dd to write a
1 gig file from /dev/zero to the filer. I've tried with both AIX 4.3.3
and 5.2.1 with similar results.

We do have AIX servers connected to F960.
No issues. What size
file are you trying to dd ?
Thanks

Subject: AIX write performance
Toasters,
I am having difficulty with large file writes to an f720 from any of my
IBM hosts, if I start a large write with dd then try to do anything on
the filer from that host it hangs until the write completes. From a different
host access to the filer is near normal. I do not have this problem with
linux boxes on the same network so it seems that the problem lies with
AIX somehow. IBM has been sympathetic although not very helpful.
