Heya, I've been scratching my head for a while with this - my VM's performance in my lab are appalling.
My setup is 2 nodes going via multi-channel SMB3 over a unmanaged HP GbE switch to my storage server, which is 4x2Tb's in a RAID5, which has enough performance to server up the two Hyper-V nodes with ease, and a copy of a 4Gb MKV goes at ~170-180MB\s. But the VM's are really laggy. Takes ~1m to open server manager, running installers takes ages... Overall, really sluggish.
As you can see from below my array isn't to blame,
I was thinking of moving over to iSCSI w/ CSV cache, as I'm not sure if it's because of MC SMB3 that it's sluggish... I also am going to borrow a managed switch with LACP and bond them too.
But I was wondering if anyone else could give me some clues as to why the performance is so shoddy, and also any ideas as to improving performance as a whole...
