Performance issue: solaris clustered zones vs. unclustered

Hello all,
We've got  an interesting problem of performance and was wondering if anyone else had encountered the same.
Simply put, we've got two physical servers forming a cluster. On the cluster we have several sap zones: one zone is a single  zone (ie sap and ora running in the same zone)with failover capabilities (ie it can fail across to the other physical node), another zone is a clustered pair - either of the two zones - one running sap, one running ora - can fail over to the partner server. This is Solaris 10 , Suncluster 3.2.
The problem: the single zone sap instance writes data to the backup media server at 40m/sec. But the clustered pair can only manage 16m/sec (to the same media server): I would have imagined that the pair of zones would be able to perform at least as fast as the single zone, but this is not true:its markedly worse. The problem is basically the same across all services where we have a two zone cluster compared to a single floating zone.
I realise its not exactly a netbackup issue, however if its been seen as a netbackup issue, then theres a chance that a solution exists (most likely a Solaris / Cluster fix).
Thanks in advance,Tim
