I am looking to move my VM SR off of equallogics (ps6000xv - 16x10k 450gb w/1gb multipath) to a free nas setup with the following specs:
dell r610
2x E5540 @ 2.53GHz
64gb
OS: raid-1 73g SAS 15k
ZFS storage: 4x Seagate 800GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5" MLC Enterprise SSD
NIC: HP NC550SFP Dual Port 10GbE (using on board 1gb for off band management)
Host are 4 machines:
dell r620
2x E5-2640 @ 2.5Ghz
96GB
OS: single Samsung 840 EVO
NIC: 4 onboard 1gb (1 for management, 3 for SR), 1 PCIE dual 1g (1 VMs, 1 SR), 1 PCIE dual 10gbe (1 VMs, 1 open)
DOM0: modified to 8gb
I have had poor VM performance with the storage pool, HIGH I/O waits in the 1000%+, low IOPS. I hope this will make it better as my test as already shown improvement with freenas and a single 1gb for the SR.
Any help/guidance with pointers or anyone sees some glaring issues with my setup. Support from the xenserver forms has been light and equallogic will not talk to me without a service contract which my units are no EOL.
Thanks for any help.
