Hey, #First question to ask -- are you using the emlxs driver for #the Emulex card?
Im using what I believe is the latest version of SFS. I got it from a link on the Emulex website. to http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d #Second question -- are you up to date on the SAN Foundation #Kit (SFK) patches? I think the current version is 4.4.11. If #you're not running that version, I strongly recommend that #you upgrade your patch levels to it. Ditto for kernel, sd #and scsi_vhci. I downloaded all of the patches and the latest SFS from sun. Here is a list of patches I have recently downloaded and installed this week: 119130 120222 119470 119715 Also, since my last posting I have found that I get slow 'zpool create' and 'zpool import' times when I have mpxio enabled. Running truss duing the 'zpool import' displays delays on system calls like pread() fstat(), stat64() and ioctl() calls. I have receiver similar test results, i.e. slow zpool creates/imports, on two differnet drivers now. The Emulex 10000DC 2GB HBA and the QLOGIC x6727a (SUN) HBA. Would it also help if I purchased the latest 4GB HBA from Sun. Maybe the Qlogic HBA doesn't function well with the Leadville (scsi_vhci) driver.
