    What firmware is running on the NAS?

     

    What protocol are you using for the transfer?  Are you seeing this with both reads and writes? If not, which transfer direction?

     

    What is the other device?  Is it directly connected to the NAS SFP+ port?  If not, can you give some more details on the network path?

      Dear Stephen

      the firmware is 6.9.3 , we used iSCS protocol and the problem with both direction 

      the other device is HP DL380 G7 server and connected directly to the NAS through 10G SFP.

        Is this a large file transfer test, or are you copying a lot of small files?  If the latter, you might want to try a large file transfer.  

         

        Are snapshots enabled?  Normally you'd have snapshots turned off on the NAS LUN, since leaving them on will fragment the LUN (and use a lot of snapshot space).

         

        Also, is this a new problem?
