The card is a 64-bit PCI-X, so I don't think the bus is the bottleneck,

The disk array does not appear to be the bottleneck because we get
200Mbyte/s when we use *two* HBAs in load-balanced mode.
The question is really about why we only see O(100Mbyte/s) with one HBA
when we can achieve O(200MByte/s) with two cards, given that one card
should be able to achieve that throughput.
I don't think the method of producing the traffic (bonnie++ or something
else) should be relevant but if it were that would be very interesting
for the benchmark authors!
The storage is an HDS 9980 (I think?)
i am not an expert with Hitachi storages,
anyway
does each hba map to a different controller on the storage?
do you have some statistics on disk usage from the storage side?
