Poor performance on a 3320 disk array

Hello ,

using iostat I am getting the following outputs :

what I am doing is copying some 10G of large files ( 300MB+) from one raid volume of the array to the other one.

here are the values of the mkfs :

bash-3.00# mkfs -m /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0

mkfs -F ufs -o nsect=128,ntrack=48,bsize=8192,fragsize=1024,cgsize=16,free=1,rps=90,nbpi=8155, opt=t,apc=0,gap=0,nrpos=8,maxcontig=128,mtb=n /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 1140798464

bash-3.00# mkfs -m /dev/dsk/c2t0d1s0

mkfs -F ufs -o nsect=128,ntrack=48,bsize=8192,fragsize=1024,cgsize=16,free=1,rps=90,nbpi=8155, opt=t,apc=0,gap=0,nrpos=8,maxcontig=64,mtb=n /dev/dsk/c2t0d1s0 1140798464

This topic has been posted over and over, to be blunt you should do a forum search for 3000 series performance related threads. I would also like to point out that the 3000 series systems are entry level systems, in certain configuration ( ie dual controller ), there is a performance overhead for this type of redundancy. I can provide more information on this if you can post more details about you environment.
