                  &gt;&gt; &gt; confirmed throughput to be ~9Gb/s to
                  each of the storage hosts from the<br>

                  cpu, memory that are in the<br>

                  that the poorly perfoming hosts all<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; have Dell&#39;s Idrac 7 Enterprise.  I have
                  one Hypervisor that has Idrac 7<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; express and it performs well.  We&#39;ve
                  compared system packages and<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; versions<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; til we&#39;re blue in the face and have been
                  struggling with this for a<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; couple<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; months but that seems to be the only
                  common denominator.  I&#39;ve tried on<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; one<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; of those Idrac 7 hosts to disable the
                  nic, virtual drive, etc, etc. but<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; no<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; change in performance.  In addition, I
                  tried 5 new hosts and all are<br>
                  &gt;&gt; &gt; complying to the Idrac enterprise
                  theory.  Anyone else had this issue?!<br>
