Hello,
I have just configured a SOFS with Hyper-V clients to use SMB Multichannel with RSS.
The 2 file servers use an LBFO team (2x 10Gbps) each for client connections. From the HV hosts I can pull data from the cluster at 500MBps+ so Im quite happy with all of the read results and this speed is also available in the guest VMs.
The write speed from the hosts is an issue as I can only push 50-60MBps to the cluster from the HOSTS. From the guests I get expected speeds in excess of 300MBps. Also, if I upload directly to each file server I can push 500MBps+, it is only the cluster IP which shows this problem.
This speed is slower than the results I was getting before enabling multichannel, with a single channel from the hosts I could read at 113MBps and write at 110MBps. All of my testing was from multiple file copies in Windows 2012 R2 (HV hosts and guests) and the file servers run storage server 2012.
Thanks
