Symptoms

OVM Sparc servers is experiencing performance issues on EMC VNX NFS storage.

Running a simple dd command on the mounted repository shows the performance degradation:

root@<Hostname>:/mnt# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/OVS/Repositories/<Repository ID>/1GB bs=1024000 count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

real 0m39.304s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m2.091s

The degradation of performance is also seen only after a Reboot.
If the repository is unpresented and presented back to the server OR if a repository is presented on the fly the performance is better.
