vSphere 1.8.3 driver iSER result

Thanks Ophir for sharing the beta driver https://community.mellanox.com/docs/DOC-1412

I have installed the beta driver into ESXi 6.0. Both iSER and SRP shows up

The storage is Solaris 11.2. 2 x L5630 CPU, 24 GB RAM. 4 x SSD for L2ARC. 8 x 450GB 15K SAS drive (4 x mirror). HBA LSI 9207-8e. ConnectX-2 VPI 2.10.700 firmware

Test VM is 2 vCPU, 4 GB memory

iSER Throughput 1700 MB/s

iSER 4k random IO: 57682

For comparison.

IPoIB (on 1.8.2 driver): 547 MB/s

SRP: 2883 MB/s

iSER is still not as good as SRP but way better then standard IPoIB.

Thanks again for providing the beta driver!
