Hardware

We just got a sun 7310 cluster the 10TB configuration 2xWrite SSD 1xRead SSD, we configured the 7310 as a single strip (for testing only, will latter change to mirror), we ran several NFS and ISCSI tests, to get a peak performance, all tests where done on solaris 10 clients, while the NFS test's where great, peak at around 115MBs (gigE speed) we where unable to get ISCSI performance greater then 88MBs peak. We tried playing with the ISCSI settings on the 7310 like WCE, etc but where unable to get better results.

I know we could get better performance as seen with the NFS tests, we where going to buy10gig interfaces but if we can't push ISCSI to greater then 88MBs per client it wont make sense to buy. I would rely appreciated if some one could point us in the right direction what could be changed to get better ISCSI performance.
