it is not only the P2V machine. we also created brandnew machines on the infrastructure to build a test environment.
we only converted the production servers through the vm ware converter.
the performance is the same bad on the converted and on the new created vm's on the cluster.
actually i did a new disk marking,based on the vmware oracle best practive howto.
- first i created a seperated volume on the netapp with a single lun and mapped it to one esx server on the test cluster.
- next step was to add a new harddisk on the virtual machine with the virtual device node SCSI (1:0) and change the new iscsi controller to paravirtual.
- on the windows machine i added the new harddisk and formated the NTFS cluster size as 64K (64 kilobytes)
- as u can see with esx top, in my benchmarking tool, the data is pumping through my 4 iscsi multipaths
- but the performance is miserable. specially the 4k block for databases.
