Hi.
config:
ESX 3.5 build 64607 on
2 Xeon 5335, 16GB RAM, supermicro X7DBU, local SATA disk, 2 QLogic
FC card QLA 2464.
SAN Datastore -FC Xyratex Ltd F5402E.
ESX host system boot from local sata disk.
All VMs on FC.
On Xyratex we use 16 sata disks.
15 disks are incorporated in RAID 5. 1 hotspare disk.
RAID is separate on 4 logical volume for 1.8 TB each.
All VMs on volume1 (datasote name fc0), and volume2 (datastore fc1).
Try to backup VM (from volume 0) by vcbMounter on volume 3 (non used by VMs).
Very low performance - < 4 MB/S.
Is it normal ?
I will be to do hot backup all VMs on this ESX host (total size > 1 TB ) on free datastore (volume 3).
Please, prompt me the best way.
