7000 Appliance OS (Fishworks)

Purpose

The majority of Oracle's ZFS Appliance customers using NFS have a large number of clients accessing the appliance over the network.

In some cases one or two clients with single threaded applications must read huge amounts of sequential data over a high speed link.

One example of this would be video data where the appliance is being utilized in the Media and Entertainment Industry.

In some circumstances the read performance may not meet the customer's expectations. Some actions can be taken to increase the performance.

Scope

Versions of appliance software below 2013.06.05.5.2,1-1.2 have a congestion window set to 5. The congestion window is the number of packets that can be on the wire to the client.

In ak version 2013.06.05.5.2,1-1.2, the constant was increased from 5 to 16 decimal. Upgrading to the newer release can increase throughput on a network where there is some packet loss.
