One of my clients is complaining that performance between Solaris 2.5.1 systems (mainly Ultra 1s and 3000s) and an F210 is pretty damn awful. (The 210 is to be used for syslog, so the amount of disk writes isn't *that* high).
I got him to switch to NFS v2 and UDP to get around timeout issues, but performance still sucks.
The entire LAN fabric is full duplex 100baseT switched through Cisco Catalyst 5000s.
Anyone got any ideas why things might be so sloooow? :-/ What mount options are the rest of you using with Solaris?
Thanks,

Some real numbers would help. What's the sysstat output look like? Network traffic? What makes him think it's slow? How's he actually measuring it?

additionally how well patched are his Solaris systems? (covering such things as the hme driver fixes, NFS patches, are the interfaces definitely all running at 100mbps, etc.)
