I have an issue an need some advice. We have recently just P2V's most of our physical servers. Hyper-V has been working very well and seems stable. The only down side is our backup times and one overnight task is taking longer. Some of our backups speeds on virtual machines are half the speed of what they where when they where physical! There is obviously a bottleneck somewhere. Where is this likely to be? Network or SAN?
Can anyone recomended any software to help me trouble shoot this? We are still backing up some physical machines and these backup speeds are fine still, so the problem has to be on our virtual enviroment. Thanks.
SAN:
MSA2324i
One RAID10 array.
3 volumes, 2 LUNS (1.5TB each) and one Quorum (1GB)
4 NICs on SAN connected to the two host servers.
Hyper-V Hosts:
2 x HP DL380G7 (clustered)
2 x 1Gb NICs (Teamed)
Switch:
2 x HP ProCurve 1810G
4 ports on each switch connected via a trunk.
Flow control enabled.
Jumbo packets enabled.
