slow network file transfer

2007-12-24 23:49:00

I'm moving ~25 Gig from a Intel Solaris 8 to my new EMC CLARiiON attached to
an E220R also running Solaris 8. The x86 is a Compaq with SCSI RAID and a
100Fdx network connection, the 220's network is fiber 1G/s. The EMC is
attached via fiber channel. Using ufsdump | ufsrestore, ufsdump logging is
reporting 80-90 hours to complete. The network is Cisco switched and there
are no auto-negotiate on these interfaces. Looking at nnd /dev/tcp and ndd
/dev/udp on the x86:
udp_xmit_hiwat 65536
udp_xmit_lowat 32768
udp_recv_hiwat 65536
and
tcp_xmit_hiwat 65536
tcp_xmit_lowat 32768
tcp_recv_hiwat 65536

On the 220R they are:
udp_xmit_hiwat 8192
udp_xmit_lowat 1024
udp_recv_hiwat 8192

tcp_xmit_hiwat 32768
tcp_xmit_lowat 4096
tcp_recv_hiwat 32768

Should I match the 220's udp and tcp values? Do the 220's need increased even
though the interface should be 10 times as fast?

Any input is welcome.

I'll summarize.
