Hi to all and sorry for my english,
I manage about 12VM in a cluster with:
2 x Host Esx 4.1.0.260247 on HP DL380G5 (single cpu and 16GB of RAM for any host)
1 x QNAP TS-459U
Both Esx use QNAP NFS share as shared storage.
All work fine but
Some time vm user (terminal services) report some "tears" of some seconds. Terminal session "freeze" for some second and then restart. Different time in a day. Users in session in different VM report some issue.
Snapshot usage for some VM is impracticable. If i delete a shapshot all VM in same node become unusable utill delete operation is completed.
I not have any alarm or performance issue (or i look in a wrong place! :smileyconfused:)
Can someone give me some suggestions?
How i can understand "who" is in overload? If this is an overload!
We would upgrade NAS section with new and more performance NAS and we think to QNAP TS-809U to use with iSCSI instead of NFS.
Is this a good point of start?
I can view "differences" whit this new NAS?
Other NAS (in same cost range of TS-809U) can give me best results?
I hope to be clear.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Regards.
Massimo.
