Dell M8024-K 10GB only operating at around 2GB

Hi guys, seem to be here almost every day at the minute!

I have a Dell m1000e, it has 2x Dell m8024-K's in a switch. Each blade has 2 connections in a team, so in essence it should be 20GB connections.

I have installed Tamosoft throughput test, and the max that the connections get are about 1.5 up and 1.5 down.

I am a few firmware revisions behind, but still shouldn't make much of a difference. Updated all drivers on servers and firmware for blade NIC's. All ports are showing a "Current Port Speed" of "10G Full", they have an MTU of 1518 and are in Full Duplex mode.

Is there anything blatantly obvious that could be affecting this? I have gone through the switch and the CPU utilization says its steady around 37%.

Total Memory 524288  KBytes

Available Memory 166337  KBytes

Not a network guy by any stretch of the imagination. We have had this setup in for about 3 years now, but users are complaining about slow drive usage and this network runs is our storage network, so I think this is what is slowing it down.

Any help is appreciated.
