<p class="MsoNormal">Here's a quick thought: if you are copying your files with scp, you might be CPU bound because of all the crypto work. You should try to copy with a much more CPU-lightweight tool. I personally usually use netcat for this kind of stuff. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I'm trying to understand something let me explain.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Oracle always told to me that if you create a etherstub switch it has infiniband speed 40GB/s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But I have a customer running on Solaris (Yeah I know but let me explain) who is copy from 1 NGZ to another NGZ on the same GZ over Lan (I know told him to to use etherstub).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The copy witch is performed for a Oracle database with sql command, the DBA witch have 5 streams say it's waiting on the disk, the disk are 50 - 60 % busy the speed is 30 mb/s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>So I did some test just to see and understand if it's the database or the system, but with doing my tests I get very confused ???<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>On another Solaris at my work copy over etherstub switch => copy speed is 185MB/s expected much more of infiniband speed ???<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>On the other NGZ I receive <span style="color:red">250MB/s </span>????<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>- So my question is how comes that the speed is equal to Lan 100MB/s on OmniOSce but i receive 250MB/s ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>- Why is etherstub so slow if infiniband speed is 40GB/s ???<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I'm very confused right now ...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>And want to know for sure how to understand and see this in the right way, because this customer will be the first customer from my who gonna switch complety over to OmniOSce on production and because this customer is one or the biggest company's in Belgium
I really don't want to mess up !!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>So any help and clarification will be highly appreciate !!!<o:p></o:p></p>
