Windows systems perform well with minimal optimization. It is recommended to use SMB3 multichannel from Windows connecting to OneFS. It is possible to verify SMB3 multichannel behavior from the Windows PowerShell with the following command:
Get-SmbMultichannelConnection
Windows systems can get benefit from SMB multichannel even when there is a single NIC on the client connecting to a single NIC on the PowerScale node. Windows will automatically open multiple sockets between client and server.
Another Windows optimization deals with reading media in Premiere Pro that has embedded caption files. Premiere Pro needs to scan the entire file before the media will be available to edit and this process can take considerable time. Caption extraction is an inefficient process in Premiere Pro.
On the Windows client, disabling Recv Segment Coalescing on the NIC ports communicating with the network storage can dramatically speed up reading embedded captions in Premiere Pro. Disabling Recv Segment Coalescing can increase CPU load on the Windows client.
From Windows 10 go to Network and Internet Settings > Ethernet > Change Adapter Options.
Right click on the port and select Properties. Click Configure and select the Advanced tab. Scroll down to Recv Segment Coalescing and select the Disable option. Network traffic will be interrupted briefly on that port.Depending on the NIC model in use this setting may also be called “Large Receive Offload” or LRO.
