I have no idea about your disks performance, but a quick estimation tells me: if the target disk can write at 20MB/s continuously then it will take (250.000/20=) 12500 seconds to write 250GB - 12500/3600 ~ 3.5 hours. I doubt your disk (LUN, whatever) can write at the ~140 MB/s (continuous!) necessary to finish the job in 30 minutes.

Can any one explain.. ?
Could you be bothered to read the man page of "dd", after insisting on this tool, before asking here? It tells you that it has - until you cancelled it - 2352183 pieces of the size given in the command in option "bs" read and written as many. As you issued

Code:
dd if=/dev/sfsapplv of=/dev/tgtapplv bs=512

it read 2352183x512=1204317696 bytes and wrote as many.

Again, i don't think it is advisable to use "dd" for that task (even more it is dangerous in the hand of someone not completely knowing what he is doing) and i won't answer questions easily answered by looking at the man page again.

I hope this helps.

NAME
cmdk - common disk driver SYNOPSIS
cmdk@target, lun : [ partition | slice ] DESCRIPTION
The cmdk device driver is a common interface to various disk devices. The driver supports magnetic fixed disks and magnetic removable disks. The block-files access the disk using the system's normal buffering mechanism and are read and written without regard to physical disk records. There is also a "raw" interface that provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A sin- gle read or write call usually results in one I/O operation; raw I/O is therefore considerably more efficient when many bytes are transmit- ted. The names of the block files are found in /dev/dsk; the names of the raw files are found in /dev/rdsk. I/O requests to the magnetic disk must have an offset and transfer length that is a multiple of 512 bytes or the driver returns an EINVAL error. Slice 0 is normally used for the root file system on a disk, slice 1 as a paging area (for example, swap), and slice 2 for backing up the entire fdisk partition for Solaris software. Other slices may be used for usr file systems or system reserved area. Fdisk partition 0 is to access the entire disk and is generally used by the fdisk(1M) program. FILES
/dev/dsk/cndn[s|p]n block device (IDE) /dev/rdsk/cndn[s|p]n raw device (IDE) where: cn controller n dn lun n (0-7) sn UNIX system slice n (0-15) pn fdisk partition(0) /kernel/drv/cmdk 32-bit kernel module. /kernel/drv/amd64/cmdk 64-bit kernel module. ATTRIBUTES
