HDD activities delayed after suspend

I use WS 12 pro on Windows 10 host.

Location:

When suspending a Win10 (4 GB RAM) Guest VM disk HARD record activities continues for several minutes with e/s to 100% charged after the release of the workstation. In the user interface, the suspension takes only a few seconds, but the HARD drive is still used a few minutes later. Test the same virtual machine (copy) on an SSD drive works fine (resume and suspend complete in a few seconds).

Performs another VM (Win 7) also having 4 GB of RAM on the same HARD disk, suspend about 15 sec, without delayed HARD drive activities.

Could this difference in behaviour be caused by certain circles?

TIA

Wila Hello!

Thank you for your reply and suggestion.

After defragmentering the guest and the host I found that:

  1. first stop was much more fast (about 30 sec) compared to several minutes (still not as fast as Win 7 VM)
  2. second time suspend, back to slooooow. Now, even once, taking several minutes with slow disk performance

Difference between virtual machines

A difference I noticed between the quick suspension (Win 7) VM and the slow VM (Win 10), it's that Win 7 VM uses only a single file by disk vmdk, while winning 10 VM uses several files vmdk, each 4 GB (total 70 GB).

Magical VMX settings!

After you add the parameters below to the VMX 10 win the RESUME time and disk IO file normally carried out. I found the same settings in the Win 7 VMX file. Do not understand what they are doing!

prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE".

mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE".

It seems that the performance is a major concern when looking on the net. I don't understand why VMWare is not to compile such an important know how in some documentation? Now, it seems to me we are all guessing... (expensive)

Once again, thanks Wila!

  • Delay after domain join

    Dear Microsoft team,

    We have six identical touchscreen PC ("sword of the FEC") "Windows POSReady 2009". This problem affects all of them, while this does not happen on another of our clients in the domain (XP and 7).
    The domain controller is running "Windows Server 2011 64-bit" "VMWare ESXi 5" with a single field.»
    Before joining the domain, clients asked me to wait while the 'domain' list is being created. This process took about four full minutes.
    Because customers are now reunited to form the area, they 'autologon' using a domain account and start our application of sales...
    The boot process is delayed nearly three full minutes then the PC does nothing... until the startsound of Windows is playing.
    It does not have software or drivers on the affected machines.
    This is my diagnosis up to now:
    • LMHOSTS: creating an lmhosts file has not resolved the problem (KB314108).
    • DHCP: Configuring a static IP address does not resolve the problem.
    • Services: startup time is down to two minutes when the 'TCP/IP NetBIOS assistance' is disabled. However, he breaks the updates of group policy at startup ("the network path is not found"). Manually run "gpupdate" is always present.
    • NMCAP: Attached are four screenshots of MS NMCAP. The PC has been powered at exactly 21:43:45, received his lease DHCP-47 seconds later, but did not respond to ping from 02:50 minutes after the power! You can see the last ping unanswered in "cap1.jpg" on the top and the first ping responded in 'cap4.jpg '. You may find solution inbetween. There are a few "Bad Checksum" - messages. This log file NMCAP begins at 2:40 Minutes after the ignition and is 22 MB.
    • XBOOTMGR: Attached are four screenshots of a "boot trace. The Analyzer said he got a "reversal of time. Could be the solution to our start delay? Track does not belong to the same machine as NMCAP. The ETL file is 141 MB.

    * When to go sleep (led orange blinkong) - Blue leds instead still on screen and the power is on.

  • Station working 12, after suspend and resume, kills the host graphics performance (15.10 Kubuntu/Ubuntu host).

    When I suspend and resume my comments on VMware Workstation 12 Pro systems, using the command "vmrun suspend", my system very fast host (Kubuntu 15.10) suffers from a terrible performance issue after standby.  Graphic files, such as photos, now take 20 seconds to display on the host system to the place instantly. Here is an example of command that shows the problem to a 2.5 MB JPEG file on my host system.

    display of $ IMG_1234.JPG

    Other graphics software become even slow on display: geeqie, eog, etc.. However, the cp command is always instantaneous for the same file, so the problem does not seem to be related to the disk:

    $ cp IMG_1234.JPG whatever.jpg


    The problem remains until I have suspend the VMs system again (or stop).  If I take it back once again, the problem sometimes returns immediately. Other times it comes back after a few hours or a few days. (The problem is intermittent, but suspending the VMs always makes the problem go away.)

    If the graphic file is small, it displays quickly.  The slowdown is proportional to the size of the graphics file.

    When I run a strace of the 'View' command, I see that the delays are produce for the read() of the image file. No errors appear in/var/log when the behavior occurs.

    I suspend the VMs every night automatically (vmrun suspend) before that cron runs a backup of the entire system (using rsync). Then I have them back manually in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes, the problem is present and sometimes not.

    Two virtual machines use shared folders to access the host system.

    The problem started after upgrading my host of Kubuntu 14.04 15.10 LTS, and VMware Workstation version 10 to version 12. (Both at the same time.)

    System details:

    • VMware® Workstation 12 Pro, 12.0.1 build-3160714. Two virtual machines: Windows XP and Windows 7 Professional.
    • The host system: 12 cores, 32 GB of RAM (28 GB free), SSD
    • Using the new system for graphics (G-Force graphics cards)
    • Under Plasma (KDE) for host GUI.

    Thanks for any help!

    The issue is resolved by disabling hugepages transparent in the nucleus of the host.

  • Delay after connection - WXP & M200

    Hello

    When my M200 operates on batteries, most of the time that I connect the cold start system that I have to wait for about two minutes after the connection. Open the Task Manager learns that the CPU is idle, hard drive is not used, only some of the process loading. the system seems to just wait for something. Other programs that the task manager can not be opened.

    At the time the delay occurs in the system section of the event log, the following error messages are recorded:

    . "Silent Running: Stress test transition: Dynamic-> Performance 3D", "nv", service event_ID: 106
    . "Silent Running: Stress test transition: 3D-> LowPower 3D performance", "nv", service event_ID: 106

    NV seems to be NVIDIA, but reinstall the display driver has not changed a bit. When the system is running on the current, the problem has never occurred.

    What happens here & how solve it?

    Thank you for everything good suggestion.

  • Portege 2000 cannot start after suspend

    Hi guru,.

    I'm new to this forum. So I looked through the first forum hoping to get an answer to my problem before posting, but no good result.

    Here's my problem. My portege 2000 works before brilliantly. But last night, while I was trying to configure my APM suspend (this is the first attempt to suspend), the problem, the system freezes! Then I tried to restart, can not remember I turn it off by pressing the button for a few seconds or unplug the hand because of the power key is not, in any case I have wait a few seconds after that, then turn on the power again, but the system seems to be dead, the AC power led is under voltage green LED, battery was not in the slot so no sign for her, the small button Fn LED told me this Fn key works well, but the caplock key does not work because its LED is not turn on after pressing, the screen is blank, or should say it is not powered on, the hard drive does not turn.

    So I unloaded the system by unplugging it from the main. After a while I swhitch on once again, the laptop is still in the same situation. Therefore, I tried to unload everything, disconnect the hand, open up the laptop, unplug the CMOS battery, wait for a while (15-20 minutes), then put it back on, but no joy.

    I did some research on Google at this time and read the knowledge base on the web site of Toshiba, seems the problem come with BIOS, who say that the system does not start if the power is off during suspend mode for the original version of BIOS (later healed). So, I decide to Flash a BIOS to most recent version. I have a pc card floppy drive, so I download the BIOS and create the floppy, then I use the key to update the BIOS to power on the laptop, luckily this time it works, "ready to update bios" screen appear. But when I press the key on the keyboard, it seems that it does not access the pc card floppy drive.

    By this incident, I think that the material has no problem, but the system is in standby for ever. Guru of the idea?

    Therefore, I have 2 questions:
    1. how to make it back to the start mode so that I can start my system? I need this as well according to the Readme of the BIOS update package, it should be in start mode, no interruption/recovery mode.
    2. how flashing a new bios in this situation? Do I need a USB floppy drive to do the BIOS to recognize that there is a drive so that I can Flash a new bios in there? Or the system will analyze not for material in this mode 'freezes '?

    Sorry about the long story, but I think I must tell him that you guys understand the situation and what I've tried so far.

    Additional information on my system, I'm under debian linux etch on this laptop, and everything that happened after I typed the command "apm-s". But it seems to me that it is the problem of BIOS problem OS?

    Thanks in advance.

    concerning
    Colin

    Hello

    First question: How did you install the operating system if the laptop will not start?

    I'm a bit confused Mr. I put t you know what means the boot mode.

    If the laptop has been completely stopped down so it s in the boot mode (standby or hibernation mode don t mix).
    If you want to update BIOS please make sure the BIOS is good and that you use the right update procedure.

    Where did you find the information that the BIOS update will solve this problem?
    In any case, for me, it looks more like an electrical problem on the motherboard.

    Hello

    I see that you have switched from Vista to XP.

    First of all I recommend you update the BIOS.
    As I m not wrong on the European driver Toshiba page, you should find a newer version of the BIOS.

    You will need to upgrade Win XP to the last State.
    The XP must be up-to-date and all service packs, hotfixes and patches MS must be installed in your laptop.

    Access the Device Manager, and then score in each USB hub root, you must disable the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    You can find this option in the properties-> tab power management

  • Fingerprint reader no longer work after suspend P70 - W10

    I have a P70 with Windows 10. After I suspend, when I wake up my system, fingerprint reader has stoped working.

    Hi Paubach,

    Try the latest driver touch fingerprint. The version of the driver ID is "5.01.307.26(driver jour 10/05/2016)". " It already exists in the Windows Update server.

    You can get it by the following steps: open Device Manager > biometric devices > Synaptics WBDI (its PID is 0090) > right click, and select "update driver software...". ' > choose 'automatically search for... ". ", then Windows installs the driver 5.01.307.26 for you.

  • delay after each image record

    Hello

    Can someone help me please about an issue I'm facing. Basically, I managed to save five images in a directory, I now want to do is to save each image after a specific time period without interrupting the entire program. I tried to do this with the time elapsed time vi (under the calendar), but do not have to work. I know that it is possible using this vi. I think I have what I do is not the right way. Attached is a screenshot and the vi I haaving problems.

    Is that what you want? When you click on the button 'Save 5 images' type of lock, the VI is expected to produce 5 images, with a 3 second delay between them.

    Edit: this VI will also wait 3 seconds before you save the first file, if you want the first file to be created when the button is clicked, you must change the VI a little, so you can practice a little more

    Edit2: important to stress, that you didn't have any time in your loop to slow it down. If you run these timing loop, your computer tries to run it as soon as possible. This is not a good practice. So I put a wait 50 MS in the loop to be ok with this...

    Edit3: I also forgot to connect the cable to your digital indicator "picture #". You can put in the required place and connect the entire meter wire.

  • 3 seconds delay after the application icon was clicked...

    I can't understand the following situation:

    When I I click on my blackberry application icon (in the Simulator), the application is fast, no problem. However, when I take that same code and place it on my blackberry, there are a few seconds of waiting time after that the icon has been clicked.

    can someone tell me how to reduce the delay? the first screen is nothing else than an image within an image field. I wanted to create a "splash" screen and I just show you a simple picture.

    After I click on the icon of the application (on my phone), I notice that there is activity because you see the arrows at the top right moving. but the user regular to non-techie, they do not know that the application has been started and they will just keep clicking on the icon over and over again.

    again, I click on the application icon and there are about 3 seconds just to show the image contained in the file of the project. If we're not going get the image from a remote site.

    the Simulator shows the quick image, but the phone creates a delay. any ideas how to minimize the delay on the application icon, click on?

    Thank you.

    I thought about it. I just moved the instantiation and several objects of a different class loading and later called these lines of code with an invokeLater method. My first screen contains only the image itself and the other class the rest of the code.

  • Keyboard freezes after Suspend in Ubuntu 16.04 on Satellite S-50 d-A-10F

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite S-50 d-A-10F with Ubuntu 16.04. Every time the laptop wakes from sleep mode, the keyboard no longer works. A reboot is required to restart.

    I searched on the Ubuntu Forums, and it seems that the problem is related to the keyboard driver, but I was not able to find a Linux driver for this model.

    Is there a solution to this problem, or computers notebooks Toshiba are not compatible with Linux?

    Thank you

    Murray

    I'd be curious to know what state 16.04 Ubuntu is awakening to. It is after you have closed the lid of the laptop or after the black screen after a long period of inactivity? I guess that once you start Ubuntu, the keyboard works correctly. If so, the software that surrounds the keyboard probably working properly. The mouse work after suspension?

    I saw messages emphasizing that, in some cases, automatic keyboard detection does not take place after resumption of a suspension. Although I would have thought that Ubuntu 16.04 took care of that, useful search words can be resume autodetect keyboard.
