Starwind Free slow iSCSI with ESX 5.1
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 11:26 pm
I've googled this to death for a week. I read the sticky on best practices. I enabled jumbo frames. I'm going crazy.
Storage is running on an HP Pro 6200 running Win2k12. It has a built in NIC (used for vmKernel and VM Network) and a dual Intel Pro/1000 PCIe NIC (using one for storage). Disk is SATA.
Host is an HP Pro 8200. Same NIC setup. ESXi 5.1
Storage network is a cross over cable, no switch involved.
Deploying a 3 GB OVF takes 60 minutes. By comparison, deploying the same OVF to and NFS share on the same box, same disk == 7 minutes. I read about tools like iPerf and others, but don't know how to get it on to ESX (SSH is enabled, I drive Debian for fun and profit). I tried a USB disk (I know USB is slower) in the same tests (iSCSI and NFS) and got the same results. Please help, I'm going crazy!
