[OmniOS-discuss] COMSTAR and blocksizes

[Stephan Budach]

Hi, 


I am having trouble getting an issue sorted out, where omniOS 151020 complaints about mismatched blocksizes on some COMSTAR iSCSI LUNS, like this: 



Sep 7 08:52:07 zfsha02gh79 104 I/O requests are not aligned with 8192 disk sector size in 10 seconds. They are handled through Read Modify Write but the performance is very low! 
Sep 7 08:52:07 zfsha02gh79 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /scsi_vhci/disk at g600144f0564d504f4f4c3037534c3033 (sd94):

These COMSTAR LUNs are configured to export a blocksize 8k like this: 



LU Name: 600144F0564D504F4F4C3037534C3132 
Operational Status: Online 
Provider Name : sbd 
Alias : nfsvmpool07Slot12 
View Entry Count : 1 
Data File : /dev/rdsk/c3t50015178F364A264d0p1 
Meta File : not set 
Size : 200042414080 
Block Size : 8192 
Management URL : not set 
Vendor ID : SUN 
Product ID : COMSTAR 
Serial Num : not set 
Write Protect : Disabled 
Writeback Cache : Enabled 
Access State : Active 


Now, the system seems to recognize the 8k, but for whatever reason, doesn't adjust the block size accordingly. It does that for the 4k LUNs, however, so I am unsure, on how to tackle this? Any tipp, anyone could share? 


Thanks, 
Stephan
