Just some unsorted lines... Working on it... don't believe what you can read here! It is not proofed for now.
Settings in Solaris
Settings for MPxIO over FC:
/kernel/drv/ssd.conf

Alignment and ZFS
First read ZFS zpools create misaligned I/O in Solaris 11 and Solaris 10 Update 8 and later (407376).
If you have 4k as block size in your storage use ashift=12 (alignment shift exponent).
Status of alignment
# ssh filer01 "priv set -q diag ; lun show -v all; priv set"

Or use "lun alignment show":
# ssh filer01 "priv set -q diag ; lun alignment show; priv set"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUN for ZFS
Wide spread reads. I think the ashift is not correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/vol/ZoneLUNs/Zone01.lun
Multiprotocol type: solaris_efi
Alignment: partial-writes
Write alignment histogram percentage: 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 6, 14, 5
Read alignment histogram percentage: 8, 7, 10, 7, 7, 8, 36, 5
Partial writes percentage: 47
Partial reads percentage: 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUN for Oracle Database
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/vol/TEMP201/TEMP201
Multiprotocol type: solaris_efi
Alignment: misaligned
Write alignment histogram percentage: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 99, 0
Read alignment histogram percentage: 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, 77, 0
Partial writes percentage: 0
Partial reads percentage: 14
Or "stats show lun":
filer01*> stats show -e lun:/vol/TEMP201:.*_align_histo.*
ashift=12? Why 12?
# echo "2^12" | bc -l
4096
OK... 4k... I see.
What ashift do I have?
# zdb | egrep ' name|ashift'
name: 'apache_pool'
ashift: 9
name: 'mysql_pool'
ashift: 9
...
Create ZPools on NetApp LUNs with this syntax
# zpool create -o ashift=12 <mypool> mirror <vdev1> <vdev2>
Solaris Cluster
# /opt/NTAP/SANToolkit/bin/sanlun lun show | nawk '$3 ~ /^\/dev\//{line=$0;gsub(/s[0-9]+$/,"",$3);command="/usr/cluster/bin/cldev list "$3; command | getline; close(command); print line,$1; next;}NR==2{print $0,"DID";next;}NR==3{print $0"-------";next}{print;}'
