Hi. Performence issues!
Running a ESXi 5.5 lab (nested) on a Dell Poweredge t20, and then speeds are Intel Pentium G3220 3.1 GHZ and 20 GB of RAM.
Running 8 VMs that are idle.
Server 2012r2 - DC 512 MB ram
Server 2012r2 - Edge 1 GB RAM
Server 2012r2 - Svr1 1 GB RAM
Server 2012r2 - DC/DNS 512 MB RAM
vCenter Appliance ver 5.5 4 GB RAM
ESXi1 GB RAM
ESXi2 4 GB RAM
When i transfer files to my NAS from my Computer I get 906 mbit. When I am using my NAS as iSCSI or NFS share, and creates a VM on the server I get like < 10 MB sec (megabytes per sec), and that is very slow. Deployed vcloud appliance before, and it took 40 min, and the appliance is 1.8 GB. Installing Windows7 on a share storage takes for ever to, 40-50 min. The drives I am using on the NFS/ISCSI share are Samsung SSD.
Anyone have any idea why I get such a slow transfer rates?
Can you post the vmware.log file for one of your ESXi VMs? (I assume both are slow.)
Where do i find vmware.log?
Generally, it will be found in the same folder that contains the VM.
