Hello,

I was wondering if anybody at all has experienced an issue like this. EQL firmware tested was 5.2.2 and now 5.2.4 I have tried with both a physical and virtual machine with the same results.

Client Windows 7 64bit

Server - W2K* standard R2

EQL PS6100XV

Whenever  copying a large  file such as an DVD iso file I experience around 100ms latency wand the queue jumps to 30-40. IO size is 128kb in SANHQ. Throughput is around 100MB/s

If I set the Max io disk size under ESX to 64kb from the default of 32MB it is basically 0 latency with the same throughput.

I have been searching around where to set this setting with W2K8. Is this to be expected with W2k8 and the latency. I guess SMB2 will send larger IO sizes and is this overwhelming the EQL?

Thank you
