Performance Issues galore

All,

has anyone figured out how to get anything better then 100/mb sec out of these VNXe's?  I've been working on mine for 2 weeks.  It failed misearbly when the DBA ran her SQLilo on a VM.  I was doing ISCI storage and then putting VHD files on the storage.  30/mb sec for 45k?  No gonna happen.

So, I started "multipathing"  Got Powerpath. added multiple MPIO sessions.  tried aggregating the NIC's  Being restricted on ISCSI Servers that can be assigned to a storage item is looking like it might be a deal breaker.

Has anyone achieved a decent multipath IO scenario?

Oh, and BTW Qlogic doesnt support the 4062c in 08R2, in case your considering buying 4 of them like I did.

    I am really interested in this as well.  Were you able to get the LAG going with any problems?  I've been able to avoid using a LAG group w/ my MD3000i and I was really hoping I wouldn't have to use one with the VNXe.  Otherwise, that means VLAN tagging all of the VNXe NICs (limitation of the switch when using LAGs) which just adds to the complexity.

    If you are looking for performance data, you should contact your EMC rep, they should have access to performance data published from our performance team.
