VM's are slow

[Luis Martinez <lm...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hi Group

I have CS 4.13.1.0-1 running with the following hardware

1 Manager server with 4 cores and 8 in RAM

1 KVM server with 24 cores and 64G of RAM

1 FREENAS with 4 disks of 3T in Raid 1 with 12 G of RAM


I am able to download CentOS7 and create VM but it feels a little slow 
with 6 cores and 8G of RAM but with windows it's worse, I created a VM 
with 6 cores and 8 G of RAM and it's very slow and the % of use in the 
VM is 45 as well as the network,  just checking if somebody had the same 
problem and what could I check to fix this problem.


Thank you,

Luis Martinez.

NFS (over the network) + HDD = slow as expected.
In Linux, during some IO work (yum update or similar), try to observe the
IO waiting time (top / wa parameter) - if high enough it will confirm CPU
waiting for IO to complete = slow storage.

Anyway, with inside VM tools, try to see WHAT is the problem
It has nothing to do with ACS - ACS just manages the KVM in this case, and
KVM/VMs work slow (per your statement)

Best,
Andrija
