Eureka! I finally figured it out. It's Veeam's fault - I posted on their forums with all the details: forums.veeam.com/viewtopic.php I'm pretty sure I was never actually seeing ODX transfers until I uninstalled Veeam. This begs the question of how I was seeing such incredible speeds, but I guess my SAN, combined with MPIO, can really fly even without ODX. It appears that the real benefit of ODX is how incredibly efficient it is at not using the network. With ODX enabled, my iSCSI traffic is virtually non-existent during these file transfers. The speeds are sustained around 200MB/s, which is definitely not shabby, but it's not the 700MB/s I was hoping for, either.
Should I be seeing the benefits of ODX when I Live Migrate VMs? Because I'm not... :emotion-6:
Does ODX accelerate Live Migrations on EqualLogic?
