Re: Slow iSCSI Performance ESXi 5.1

Sorry for going dark on this. I had a 10 hr slot the last week in March to work on this project, and have since had to move onto more pressing matters. I'll try to pull the details requested later this week and update the thread. Do you have any tentative dates on when the VMWare certification will ...

I did some additional testing this morning, and reads seem to be faster (50-60MB/s per NIC) but still not really close to wire speed. At this point I can handle ...

Slow iSCSI Performance ESXi 5.1

Hello - I'm experiencing some pretty poor performance when mounting VMFS5 volumes in ESXi 5.1 from a Windows 2008 R2 Starwind iSCSI SAN (running on physical hardware). I'm starting out with the most simple test - Copying an ISO image from one datastore to another. For example, the source data store ...
