Network SAN seems slow

Hello

I am looking for input on how our Setup could be better organized. Overall, the best rate we can get is 30-40 MB/s tops. IO operations higher such as roaming profiles are an extraordinary amount of time. We use Citrix XenDesktop 7 with only 80 total jobs, often 50 are used on an average day. We have the normal assortment of other servers: Exchange, SQL, AD, file storage. I started thinking that maybe it's something with our Installer.

Material:

4 R810s from Dell, 4 builtin network cards are used for iSCSI, a PCIe card of add-in for both ports of 10 GB for ESXi 5.1 ethernet traffic. ESXi has iSCSI attributed to 9000bytes to the switch and port.

1 EqualLogic PS6000xv (16 x 600 GB 15 k rpm hard drives, controller is 4ports all iSCSI traffic value, no port management dedicated)

1 EqualLogic PS6100E (24 x 2 TB 7200 RPM hard drives, controller has 4 iSCSI ports and dedicated management port 1)

These two without are configured as a balanced loading group. Frames of 9000 bytes is enabled.

The San are related to our stack of core 2 3750 s Cisco. All iSCSI ports are vlan d together. Frames of 9000 bytes are defined.

The ESX hosts are connected to a Cisco Nexus 5010. Two interfaces of 10 GB link the link to the 3750 s.

Everything works the latest firmwares.

What is an optimal configuration? Split the berries would be the best option? Did I miss something else entirely? I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

You specify the model 3750, if it is the X, there is a Setup for this on the portal of quick setup guide:

Go to this link, see the Configuration Guide (information on Setup network), and then click the Quick Setup Portal EqualLogic, link on this page is the configuration for the 3750 X and ESX settings.

Also, you want to configure all of your ESX hosts in this document on best practices:

en.Community.Dell.com/.../20434601.aspx

Also, you must install a system running the SANHQ to help get a better understanding of your performance.  This can help support if after reviewing these documents, you can not get the expected performance.

  • Network of Smartphones blackBerry speed seems slow

    A Pearl 8130 (ver 4.5) for a month now and with No downloading(d/l) additional files, ringtones, etc of the original configuration. The first two weeks, signals and Internet requests are strong and fast enough. Now the same office (x) the signal is still strong, but the Internet homepage "asking speeds" seems to have slowed down a lot. 1xEV still shows on the display. Sometimes I "re-" the application and this seems to help some. Is it slow down normal to the Sprint 3 G network? Coverage maps see the 'good' for me. Any help or information appreciated.

    Edit above message:

    After talking to Sprint tech support, they said to remove the battery for a minute to replace and see what happens. After this, everything works fine now and my free memory have increased to 8 MB. Apparently, from time to time, it's a good idea to do so, especially if things seem to s-l-o-w and nothing else on the phone has changed.

  • Accidentally allowed AVG PC Tuneup set up something and I don't know what it was. Firefox seems slower, which could have caused?

    AVG wanted to bother with "Site display settings" Firefox or something like that, in order to use Firefox for my internet speed. I did accidentally and Firefox has seemed to become slower (or paranoid). I can't understand what AVG has done, and I hope that someone might know.

    Here's a Word to copy Word of what he said:

    "Firefox settings for the display of the Web site are not optimal for the selected in your profile or your computer Internet connection.

    Our recommendation: your browser settings must match your Internet connection and allow the performance of your computer for you to surf the Internet at the maximum speed possible.

    If you apply this recommendation, AVG PC TuneUp automatically performs all necessary optimizations for you. »

    So any ideas on what AVG could change?
    I will try to provide other necessary information.

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.

  • Satellite A350-02 t on the basis of normal operations, seems slow

    I just bought a new Satellite A350-02 t to replace a non-defective Toshiba laptop. My old laptop was 1.6 GHz AMD Turion Dual Core with 2x256KB of cache L2 and 1 GB of RAM and slow. Often, I have to wait for the programs to load or switch between the screens.

    My new laptop is 2.16 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core with 1 MB of L2 Cache and 3 GB of RAM and seems to run pretty slow as well. I was expecting to fly compared to my old laptop. And I really haven't had the opportunity to put to the test. Everything I do is surf the internet, word/pdf documents visualization and personalization of the laptop.

    Is this normal or do you think something might not work properly?

    Also, I've first turning on laptop, it took about 2 hours to complete the initial Setup.
    It seems normal?

    Hello!

    Well buddy, it's not easy to tell what is the reason for this and I think that it s only a software application or something else that make the cell phone a little more slow.

    You use Windows XP or Vista? If you are using Vista, you should check this Toshiba document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ9401B10001R01.htm

    If you have installed some 3rd party applications remove them and defragment your HARD drive at any time.

  • My mail box has almost 25000 messages. It seems too heavy. It seems slow. Is there something I could do to speed it up?

    I connected my mail box with my gmail address. I bought the macbook air in January 2014. I need to keep a lot of messages, so I have about 25000 of them in my mail box. The e-mail software seems to have problems with that because that gets slower and sometimes she closes its doors. Is there something to do: I was wondering if it is possible to separate the old messages? It's a recommendation when I was using windows and office.

    Please leave Mail runs. This procedure has no effect unless you leave Mail when you start.

    Back up all data.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/C*.db vacuum; sqlite3 L*/M*/*/*/E*ex vacuum

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal (command-V).

    You should see a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. If this is not the case, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.

  • Network shares are slow with Vista Business SP2

    Hello

    I have Vista Enterprise 32-bit SP2 in a Hyper-V virtual machine.  I use an internal application with strong interactions with a network share that is on another virtual machine on the same server.  When I run the application on a server 2008R2, he completed in two minutes, which is expected.  When it works on Vista, he finished in eight minutes (4 times slower), which is unacceptable.  I am forced to use Vista because it is the last operating system supported by Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1.
    I tried to disable autotune and RSS, I added = 1 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo, and I also tried safe mode with network experience.  Nothing works.
    Is there something else to try?  Is there a way to clone the network settings on 2008R2 for vista, because they work?
    The NIC reports it as: Microsoft Virtual Machine network adapter of Bus with a speed of 10 GB (10 gigabits) link.
    Thank you

  • 10 GB switches for network SAN Eql

    Hello

    We'll buy a new PS4210X 10 GB storage.

    We currently have a PS5000, a PS4000E and a PS6100X with 1Gbit Interfaces in the same network. All have their own group. A new will be in its own group.

    The network is a ring (a single trunk is open through the Protocol spanning tree) 4 Dell Powerconnect 52XX GBit switch (2 x 24, 2 x 48). 2 switches with 2 tables and 2 servers in a room, 2 1 and 2 in another room.

    The switches still have 1-2 years maintenance...

    I know the new storage can always run on GBit until we go to 10 GB on the network.

    1. what switches Dell or HP 10 GB would you consider for the new network?

    2. is it possible to buy 10 GB switches and use 1gbit and 10 Gbit customers stand on this switches at the same time?

    3. you would mix the traffic on the physical network with VLAN for your production traffic, or you would still dedicate the entire network for SAN traffic?

    Any other consideration?

    Thank you.

    For those customers who are in some longer period of transition from 1 to 10 GbE, we choose BaseT rather than SFP +.  Thus, the following switch model comes in my mind

    Force10 s4820 or N4032/64.  Don't forget that you still have 2 switches with good band stacking bandwidth.

    The Force10 comes with 48x10GbE + 4x40GbE. The N4032 have 24 x 10 + 2 x 40 and the N4064 48 x 10 + 4 x 40. Then do the math how many ports you need from the beginning. Stacking is a little less complicated with N40xx the thing (i) VLT on the Force10.

    The three models are certified for EqualLogic and we work in a few areas and a customer more have "legacy" servers/devices connected to the new switch gear.

    Yes, you should always use VLAN and whenever it's possible traffic stored separately from the rest.

    Kind regards

  • East-creation / removal of instant network connection causes slow VM?

    Hello

    We find that when we create / remove the snapshot for virtual machines, the network connectivity for VMS is much degraded.

    We would like to just know is there a relationship between the snapshot and underlying network connectivity?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Ideally it will not create any problem at the end of network. However its depends on the configuration of your network as Vswitch if you use the same vswitch to prod & save then it might be to create some slowness...

    What is the size of the virtual machines?

  • Speed of memory M6400 seems slow

    I have a BIOS A13 M6400 running.  8 GB RAM DDR3-1600 installed (4x2Go).

    I rum Memtest86 + and reports of memory is in 3 917 MB/s access.  It seems terribly slow for DDR3.  On my other units running DDR3 memory speed is closer to 8000 to 12000 MB/s.  This speed of less than 4 000 MB/s memory is more like the speeds of DDR2 ram.

    I greeted Memtest86 + to run one day on this machine with no errors of memory and without overheating.

    I have reset the BIOS to factory default... just in case.

    All four memory modules are identical to the manufacturer and the model (I'm OCD like that).

    Memtest86 + reports the bus memory clocked at 561 MHz (DDR3-1123).

    The machine is still in good working condition (or it seems that Yes) and I wish to keep to a certain extent low around computing tasks, but not if this speed memory testifies to some kinds of chip failure.

    The best, you have to get out of this system is 1066 MHz - the Core 2 Duo CPU cannot execute RAM faster than that.  If you see somewhere around 533 MHz on the memory bus, this is quite normal.

    The following generations of processor (i7) authorized operation 1333 MHz - but that is far beyond the capabilities of this older system.

  • Move your VirtualCenter SQL Server without a network, SAN, HA or DRS

    Hi all!

    I have several servers ESX w / their own storage, a VirtualCenter VM virtualized and a virtual SQL server server that contains its performance data.

    I need to migrate from SQL server to a new host, and to make that (inside virtual center of) wo / SAN, HA and DRS, network I need to stop SQL server.  However, this brings me to the problem, when I stop the server SQL, VC, kicking me service accidents and impossible to migrate the virtual machine.

    Is there an easy way to do this in VC?  If not, where can I find best practical instruction on the migration of a VM between ESX servers in VirtualCenter even manually?

    Thank you!

    Stop your vCenter Server Service, use VMware Converter to do a V2V. Turn off the VM SQL and 'copy' in its new destination. Power on the "new VM" and start your vCenter Service again, and then delete the "old" VM
