Hi everyone,
I'm more of a windows admin but I'm implementing something for a Mac heavy client of mine who's just chasing a storage solution amongst other VM's that will eventually reside on his server.
I've spun up a VM on an ESXi 6 host with the following specs.
Host: Xeon E5-2620 (12 Logical Cores), 12GB Memory, 2 x 3TB SAS RAID-1, 2 x 1TB SAS RAID-1. (on a H730 Controller)
I've allocated the XPEnology VM 2 vCPU's and 8GB Memory.
The base OS is installed on a 10GB partition on the 1TB Array, I've mapped the 3TB directly as a Raw LUN - SCSI contorller is Paravirtual.
At this stage, performance is shite.
Haven't yet installed VMWare tools but surely that's not the issue.
Any tips here? Or am I better bypassing the Hardware RAID and using software RAID within Synology (surely not!!??)
Tips appreciated!
