Operating Systems Solaris Performance (iops) becomes bad, what is the reason?

How are your doing your IO? Via a file system or direct to the device? If direct, are you using the raw device? (rdsk vs. dsk)

Also, if you use just one thread, how does the VHBA vs non-VHBA performance look? Maybe you're having threads contending for resources in your VHBA code?

tran_sync_pkt(9E)						Driver Entry Points						 tran_sync_pkt(9E)

NAME
tran_sync_pkt - SCSI HBA memory synchronization entry point SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> void prefixtran_sync_pkt(struct scsi_address *ap, struct scsi_pkt *pkt); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
ap A pointer to a scsi_address(9S) structure. pkt A pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure. DESCRIPTION
The tran_sync_pkt() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure must be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to an HBA driver entry point to be called when a target driver calls scsi_sync_pkt(9F). tran_sync_pkt() must synchronize a HBA's or device's view of the data associated with the pkt, typically by calling ddi_dma_sync(9F). The operation may also involve HBA hardware-specific details, such as flushing I/O caches, or stalling until hardware buffers have been drained. SEE ALSO
attach(9E), tran_init_pkt(9E), ddi_dma_sync(9F), scsi_hba_attach(9F), scsi_init_pkt(9F), scsi_sync_pkt(9F), scsi_address(9S), scsi_hba_tran(9S), scsi_pkt(9S) Writing Device Drivers NOTES
A target driver may call tran_sync_pkt() on packets for which no DMA resources were allocated. SunOS 5.10 1 Nov 1993 tran_sync_pkt(9E)
