I’m having issues with a pool that I created that is being shared via iSCSI. It is much slower, due in part I believe to the 1 Gbe network connection being used instead of the 10 Gbe connection (it shouldn’t, as it points to the appropriate IP address, but Veeam is super slow). I set this up probably 3 years ago so it’s a little fuzzy, but I can’t seem to find anywhere where I can adjust the storage pool size. Is there a way I can do this? If I can’t get iSCSI to work, I’ll share directly as an SMB share if it means I get the speed I bought.

Yeah, 1Gbe is awfully slow for iSCSI by today’s standards. However, iSCSI is still going to be faster than SMB. Keep in mind that iSCSI is intended for a small group of clients - typically no more than 5. It isn’t designed to take the place of a file server / file share for lots of clients using lots of files.

It’s really only being used by the Veeam Server as a repository. I set it up as iSCSI initially because that is what it was on our previous iteration. If I set up just a file share to the NAS instead of using an ISCSI link, I get the true speeds.

I have someone from Veeam that is going to check on all the settings this afternoon to make sure I’m not missing something, but it seems to be a faster connection over SMB vs ISCSI.

Any ideas beyond deleting the entire pool and starting fresh?
