I use the FreeNAS suite of solutions with VMWare ESXi for many years and it works perfectly well in one environment. FreeNAS acts by serving disks through the iSCSI protocol for the VMWare ESXi environment, in production environment, for the company's virtual servers. In this environment, FreeNAS hardware is a DELL POWER T410 Edge with PERC H200, 32GB ram. The FreeNAS version is 9.10. I have more than 12 virtual servers distributed by 4 ESXi hosts and this environment presents no problems.
I'm setting up a new environment. This time FreeNAS hardware is a DELL POWER Edge T440 with PERC H330 controller. I use 6 Seagate IrowWolf 3TB each, and two 120GB SSDs each, 32GB ram. I also use 6 Gigabit NICs (2 + 4). The pool was built using RaidZ2 with 5 3TB disks and 1 spare 3TB disk. Already the SSD disks were 1 for cache and another for the FreeNAS system, respectively. The FreeNAS version is 11.2. This is the troubled environment.
The installation of FreeNAS went smoothly. I do not have any warning and it seems all right.
After creating the iSCSI stores and mapping them to VMWare, I installed a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM. There is no other VM configured in FreeNAS or ESXi. During Windows installation, I noticed that the time elapsed was too long. And if you try to install any application, it takes a long time to do so. But it is super fast to open the applications already installed.
Both the FreeNAS version and the VMWare version are newer in this environment compared to the previous environment. Hardware is also more powerful on both systems in the new environment.
I basically re-edited the same settings for iSCSI, network, etc. in this new environment.
Could someone help me with this?
I'm using google translator. Sorry for any grammar errors.
