Symptoms
The customer migrated their SQL database application from AIX to Solaris vHBA LDOM.
They complained that Solarios IO performance was slower compared to AIX.
They only used dd to compare the IO performance.
NOTE:
dd is not an ideal tool to do IO performance analysis because it is only single-threaded.
Vdbench or similar tool is recommended.
