I'm in the process of testing FT in a newly setup vSphere 6 environment. What I'm noticing is that file copies from an NFS share across the network are MUCH slower when FT is enabled. With FT on, a 210MB file copy takes 50 seconds. With FT off, it takes about 2 seconds. This is a Red Hat 7.1 VM. The NFS share is on another VM on a different host in the same cluster. Has anybody else seen this? I don't have a 5.5 environment to compare this to. I haven't even tested fail over yet. If this is the performance I can expect, I'm not sure it's worth it.
