Hello gents,
As the title says, post here if you are unsure.
I am going to right to it so I don't waste people time.
The issue at hand i not getting the performance I should be getting from iscsi MPIO and I could use some else perspective.
example. Direct file copy is at 2.5Gigabyte /s
Iscsi performance is as 70MB/s
Can anyone shot some pointers, its like if the nics were operating at 100 mbit but they are not.
I changed RR path change to 1 from 1000 for testing.

Seagate 7200 rpm drives with 32M cache on them and I have 2 spares. This is on a reflashed h200 to lsi firmware and no raid, device is pass through, 6Gbit card 8 port and 6Gbit drives
1 intel gbit for management and one quad port gbit for iscsi.

ESXi Host.
Networking
iscsi MPIO 8 nics on a vlan to isolate traffic and all 4 ip's of the iscsi nics are in the portal. Management on another link.
Lun presented to esxi is in round robin with 4 targets, 1 device and 4 paths.

4 ports on each host making it 8 for iscsi on the same vlan.
Iscsi Traffic
All interfaces are in (1000baseT <full-duplex>) I checked the switch and 1gbit link, checked esxi and 1gbit link.
What else should I be looking at?
Gstat says at 70MB drives are not even half busy.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
