How can I set a right link Aggregations?

I have a Enterprise T5220 server, running Solaris 10 that I am using as a backup server. On this server, I have a Layer 4, LACP-enabled link aggregation set up using two of the server's Gigabit NICs (e1000g2 and e1000g3) and until recently I was getting up to and sometimes over 1.5 Gb/s as desired. However, something has happened recently to where I can now barely get over 1 Gb/s. As far as I know, no patches were applied to the server and no changes were made to the switch that it's connected to (Nortel Passport 8600 Series) and the total amount of backup data sent to the server has stayed fairly constant. I have tried setting up the aggregation multiple times and in multiple ways to no avail. (LACP enabled/disabled, different policies, etc.) I've also tried using different ports on the server and switch to rule out any faulty port problems. Our networking guys assure me that the aggregation is set up correctly on the switch side but I can get more details if needed.
In order to attempt to better troubleshoot the problem, I run one of several network speed tools (nttcp, nepim, & iperf) as the "server" on the T5220, and I set up a spare X2100 as a "client". Both the server and client are connected to the same switch. The first set of tests with all three tools yields roughly 600 Mb/s. This seems a bit low to me, I seem to remember getting 700+ Mb/s prior to this "issue". When I run a second set of tests from two separate "client" X2100 servers, coming in on two different Gig ports on the T5220, each port also does ~600 Mb/s. I have also tried using crossover cables and I only get maybe a 50-75 Mb/s increase. After Googling Solaris network optimizations, I found that if I double tcp_max_buf to 2097152, and set tcp_xmit_hiwat & tcp_recv_hiwat to 524288, it bumps up the speed of a single Gig port to ~920 Mb/s. That's more like it!
Unfortunately however, even with the TCP tweaks enabled, I still only get a little over 1 Gb/s through the two aggregated Gig ports. It seems as though the aggregation is only using one port, though MRTG graphs of the two switch ports do in fact show that they are both being utilized equally, essentially splitting the 1 Gb/s speed between
the two ports.
Problem with the server? switch? Aggregation software? All the above? At any rate, I seem to be missing something.. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

If you ran two streams simultaneously, then you should see a difference between a single 1G interface and an aggregate of two 1G interfaces.

  • How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?

    Hi,
    IMAP is in exchange 2010..
    as per guide:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200730%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    CSV Files for IMAP Migration Batches`
    Use super-user or administrator credentials.   This requires that you use an account in your IMAP messaging system that has the necessary rights to access all user mailboxes.
    In the CSV file, you use the credentials for this account for each row. To learn whether your IMAP server supports this approach and how to enable it, see the documentation for your IMAP server.

    Hi,
    Do you mean assigning a user full access permission to all other mailboxes? If so, we can try the following command:

    Hi Mark,
    Safari isn't intended to be an upload client for FTP'ing. For that you'll need a dedicated FTP client like CyberDuck.
    For some reason, on this computer, when I build an HTML file and save it, then open it using safari, I get the source code instead of the rendering of the source code.
    Which editor are you using to do this? I'm guessing TextEdit - if that's the case, use the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option to save the .html file. You'll then be able to save the file with whatever extension you prefer for JavaScript etc.
    want to switch back to the textedit application using COMMAND + tab the application doesn't open up. It remains minimized in the dock
    I know what you mean here and it is a bit frustrating. If you really want to stick with the keyboard you can do Ctrl+F2 then use the arrow keys to select the appropriate window from the Window menu. Normally I just keep the windows on screen and use Exposé to quickly retrieve the window.
    Hope some of that helps.

  • How can I set a button/link that is visible on all slides?

    I want to add a button/link that is automatically visible on all slides (whole project). But it seems it does not work. Any help?

    Hello,
    It depends on your version. I hope you are on CP6 or later. In that case you have two possiblities:
    a shape button on the main master slide (and be sure that all daughter master slides have the objects of the main master slide)
    a shape button on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.

  • How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

    We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi.  How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share?  I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up.  I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
    Thanks,
    KMQ7

    This would really be the "Holy Grail"   right now.  I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application.  In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment.  For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

  • What is the default identity store - and how can I set it?

    Hi,
    I'm running Webcenter on WLS, and using WLS and JPS for the authentication of users. On the WLS Console, if I go to Security Realms -> myrealm -> Providers, I have a list of four different providers.
    If I understand correctly, these four providers are my identity stores. How can I set one as the 'default' identity store? Or see which one is currently the default?
    The reason I'm asking is I have the following code in Webcenter to create a new user in the Active Directory:
          // Get the default identity store
          IdentityStore idStore = WCSecurityUtility.getDefaultIdentityStore();
          // Get the user manager object
          UserManager usermgr = idStore.getUserManager();
          usermgr.createUser(loginName, password.toCharArray(), propertySet);So I have a utility Java class which gives me the "default identity store". Now I want to change the WLS configuration so that the Active Directory in which I want to create new users is the "default" identity store.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Ludovic

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your help and providing this link. I'd actually already looked at that before, but I don't understand how it clarifies what the default identity store is. The relevant part is this, if I understand correctly:
    OPSS initializes the identity store service with the LDAP authenticator chosen from the list of configured LDAP authenticators according to the following algorithm:
    1.    Consider the subset of LDAP authenticators configured. Note that, since the context is assumed to contain at least one LDAP authenticator, this subset is not empty.
    2.    Within that subset, consider those that have set the maximum flag. The flag ordering used to compute this subset is the following:
        REQUIRED > REQUISITE > SUFFICIENT > OPTIONAL
        Again, this subset (of LDAPs realizing the maximum flag) is not empty.
    3.    Within that subset, consider the first configured in the context.Step (1) will match 2 external AD's and the built-in WLS LDAP, so 3 in total.
    Step (2) will still match 3 in total, as they are all 'sufficient'. In my setup, I need them all to be 'sufficient'.
    Step (3) is a step I don't understand. What is "the first configured in the context"? What context? Do they mean the one that was first created? In that case I can't change the default, right?
    Or do they mean "the first in the list on the WLS Console"?
    Best regards,
    Ludovic

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.

    How can I set up various mailboxes in Mail on my iPad.
    I am using a Pop account and don't want to change this setup.
    I use two devices to access the same email account but I am not experiencing any lockout issues.
    Mail is simply not giving me any options to create mailboxes and there must be a way of doing this.  If I can do it in my iMac, surely I can do the same thing on my iPad.

    -Tap "Settings" app,
    -Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option on the left hand side,
    -On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
    -Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
    -Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",
    -A window pops up and enter your new email account details.
    -Repeat for new email accounts.
