the problem is, they are severely worse than the same config with stormagic. I moved on to re-create the virtual disk san, without any caching. That was successful, no data loss, as experienced previously with caching on.
That allowed me to run more iometer benchmarks, and while there is an improvement over the diskbridge, these are still much worse than my stormagic benchmarks.
I'm off to find my bottleneck, and I'll even be downgrading to 2008 server, and v6 just to make sure.
lots of testing in my future. I am concerned about the data loss with the cache enabled, has anyone else seen that? could just be me trying to use cache inside a virtual machine. that should work with a memory reservation though.
So we should not update our Beta2 build to this new build? We should perform a fresh install?Bohdan (staff) wrote:The build has been updated.

Could you please also check the update process from v6 to v8? All devices types should work properly, but Snapshot&CDP, Mirror and DDdisk devices have restricted management functionality. There may be issues with LSFS in synchronous replica configuration. Single LSFS devices should work properly, as well as LSFS snapshots.
Update from previous beta builds may not work correctly.
Also we are interested in performance results for Synchronous replica devices based on thick images.
v8b2 update may be not smooth, so basically yes, either fresh install or update of v6 to this build.turkina wrote: So we should not update our Beta2 build to this new build? We should perform a fresh install?
