You sure you got the port correct?

That's good speed for a transfer over the wire.

Subject: Virtual Ethernet
I'm trying to get virtual ethernet connectivity set up between LPARs on
a 550 here. We need to do a daily transfer of a 60 GB library between
LPARs.
I created the resources and lines, gave them IP addresses,
(192.168.10.xxx) varied them on and got them talking. Unfortunately it
doesn't seem any faster than it was before.
This is the LIND on both sides:
CRTLINETH LIND(VRTETH01) RSRCNAME(CMN13) ONLINE(*YES) +
VRYWAIT(*NOWAIT) MAXCTL(40) ADPTADR(*ADPT) +
EXCHID(0569D5FF) ETHSTD(*ALL) LINESPEED(1G) DUPLEX(*FULL) +
MAXFRAME(8996) SSAP((04 1496 *SNA)(12 1496 *NONSNA)(AA +
8996 *NONSNA)(C8 1496 *HPR)) THRESHOLD(*OFF) +
GENTSTFRM(*YES) LINKSPEED(*MAX) COSTCNN(0) COSTBYTE(0) +
SECURITY(*NONSECURE) PRPDLY(*LAN) USRDFN1(128) +
USRDFN2(128) USRDFN3(128) AUTOCRTCTL(*YES) +
AUTODLTCTL(1440) CMNRCYLMT(2 5) MSGQ(*SYSVAL) +
TEXT('Virtual Ethernet')
An FTP using the new interface gave me this:
59497012608 bytes transferred in 4442.494 seconds. Transfer rate
13392.705 KB/sec.
That's 74 minutes for 60 GB, is that a reasonable speed over virtual
ethernet? I can save it to tape faster than that.
