Scott,
OK thank you for your time first of all.
The 80MB/sec MAX read is pretty much because of the 66% link efficiency of the single Gigabit interface? Gigabit with no TCP overhead would be about 120MB/sec just going off the number of bits. Is the 40MB/sec write due to the disk mechanics? In any case the 40MB/sec will be an improvement over what I get now believe it or not.
So I was thinking that instead of deleting the VIF I could just remove an interface from it and then use that interface for iSCSI traffic. Reading the man page I cannot remove the interface without bringing the VIF down. This is not an option because I am remote so I plan to edit the etc/rc file and reboot.
But what I cannot find in the man page is if you can create a VIF with only one interface. This is a FAS270 so only 2 NICS unfortuantely so I don't know if using the etc/rc file creating a VIF with one interface will work.
Here is my etc/rc now..
hostname filera
vif create multi filera -b ip e0a e0b
ifconfig filera `hostname`-filera netmask 255.255.252.0 wins
ifconfig e0a down
ifconfig e0b down
route add default 172.16.55.254 1
routed on
Here is what I was thinking to change it to (almost identical except that I remove the e0b)
hostname filera
vif create multi filera -b ip e0a
ifconfig filera `hostname`-filera netmask 255.255.252.0 wins
ifconfig e0a down
ifconfig e0b down
route add default 172.16.55.254 1
routed on
So my plan is to the etc/rc file and reboot.
What do you think Scott?
Thank you
Jimmy
