Hi,
I am running Starwind vSAN Free on Hyper-V 2019 Server on a AMD X570 hardware (which is not really supported). It runs good besides the disk performance. Had to use Win10 drivers for chipset. No question marks in devmgmt besides audio devices. The disk is a Corsair Force MP600.
Diskspd 4k results without disk cache are bad (13MB/s).
diskspd.exe -c100G -t12 -si -b4K -d30 -L -o16 -w100 -D -h e:\testfile.dat
64k results are OK (184MB/s).
diskspd.exe -c100G -t12 -si -b64K -d30 -L -o16 -w100 -D -h e:\testfile.dat
4K test using disk cache is good (1046MB/s)
diskspd.exe -c100G -t12 -si -b4K -d30 -L -o16 -w100 -D e:\testfile.dat
Is it true, that the 4k test without using cache is the most relevant for vSAN on Hyper-V ?
Any chance to use the disk cache for vSAN?
Any ideas to improve the performance?
Thank you
