Re: Testing storage box with virtual san, performance issues

Hi guys,

I've been travelling for the last 5 weeks so I was checking things here on my spare time in the evenings :)

Anyway, I'll touch base with your support, I've done a massive amount of testing over the last few days so we can see if performance can be improved.

Thanks!

Re: Testing storage box with virtual san, performance issues

I unmounted the datastore, left about 4-5 hours running and still was having data being read from disks on the storage node every few seconds. It was reading the thindisks (files) about 10 of them at time at around 500mb/sec, no writes. I deleted the disk from virtual san and the reads stopped. I ra...

Re: Testing storage box with virtual san, performance issues

I've done some more testing, flat disk, LSFS and RAMDISK. I'm not really finding the performance anything like what it should be in theory. I can't get it why on a 10GB network you can only use about 50% of bandwidth with a RAMDISK, what could I be doing wrong here? What should be the result? If you...

Testing storage box with virtual san, performance issues

Hi guys, I decided to give Virtual SAN a try now as last time I looked into it I didn't have the time to spend playing with it and checking if it was good enough for production use in my case. I have a small VMware environment where I use some storage boxes and local storage and I was hoping to repl...
