[Very bad network performance on ESXi 6.0]

11 hours ago, MooseMan123 said:

I just got my virtual NAS setup in ESXi 6.7 with 2 cores of an E3-1270 V2, 2GB of RAM and gave it an E1000E NIC and a vmxnet3 in active/failover (For compatibility, in case one stops working with an update)

 

I have 3 x 4TB 3.5" disks and a super old 1TB Samsung drive all in SHR and I get around 400MB/s read, 330MB/s write. So this is either fixed, or your guys setup has something wrong. I thought I would post, as this thread could put people off!

 

Hi man,

 

i moved my lab to freenas and to linux+ZFS. But i am still interested in XPEnology. 

Can you please share your vmdk?

[Very bad network performance on ESXi 6.0]

just hit the same issue...

every network connection (transfer) it starts 50-60 Mbps and than it goes down to 11Mbps and fluctuates there.

 

it doesn't matter 1,2,3 nics / Bond / e1000 or vmxnet3 -> transfer between 2 machines stays ~11Mbps .

 

*** if i open a new transfer from another machine i get the same results, but i now have 2 transfers that have ~11Mbps EACH.

*** if i attach another drive , transfer between raid volume and drive it's working ok - 50-60 MBps .

 

it seems to be an issue in NIC management ?

is there a vmwaretools package for DS3617xs & DSM 6.1.3-15152 ?
