Hi guys, an year ago we upgrade our 3040 to 3240, so now we going to use this old 3040 for lab and other IT operations.
i upgrade it to 8.1.4 Cluster, the lastest Ontap that support 3040, and i design to use iSCSI because i like it's MPIO, whihc NFS doesn't do.
now i am running some branchmark in it mutiple VMs under either single NFS or single iSCSI Lun, i found iSCSI are slower then NFS a lot under load. this is a bit supprise me.
i would expect an even or iSCSI faster.
i know that 3040 running in cluster 8.1.4 does not support SAN at all.
but i wounder anyone out there tested 8.1.4 iSCSI and NFS performance in their lab?
which could give me a light on which i should use? and why?
thanks
Regards
Jeff Fung
