Hi All, I have a Oracle Enterprise Linux box, the kernel is 2.6.18..., accessing LUs in a NetApp Box. At NetApp box side, I have two Gigabit Ethernet NICs, each NIC is member of a VLAN and this two interfaces are members of a TargetPortalGroup. At Host side, I have two Gigabit Ethernet NICs, each NIC is member of a VLAN. I have this configuration at DM-MP conf file: default { use_friendly_names no max_fds 4096 rr_min_io 128 } devnode_blacklist { devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z]" devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]" } devices { vendor "NetApp" product "LUN" flush_on_last_del yes getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_netapp /dev/n%" features "1 queue_if_no_path" hardware_handler 0 path_grouping_policy multibus failback immediate path_checker directio } When I simulate write operations on a LU I reach 90MB/s on each NIC. When I simulate read operations on a LU I reach 40MB/s on each NIC. It's a very poor number. When it is running on Read Operations I can see the devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc at 50% busy each and the dm-1 at 100%. Anyone can help me to identify Why this throughput to read is poor?
