NoFate Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share #27 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) ok, some more info i have attached my old ssd disk with vmware version installed :VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-OS-Release-4564106-HPE-650.9.6.0.28-Nov2016 there was already a vmware running on it with xpe 5.2 , i removed all extra disks, so i have no rdm files or whatever booted up 5.2 , created a a new share, from the disk directly from datastore started copying huge files over SMB, in total about 50 GB, started to copy from local laptop to synology @ speed 110 MB/sec, after a minute it drops and eventally fails/crashes tried ftp now, transferring is stable over ftp, but the speed is like constant 30 mb, cant go any faster, maybe an ftp limitation ? now i am updating the esxi build to : VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-Update1-5969303-HPE-650.U1.10.1.0.14-Jul2017 result, same issue Edited August 2, 2017 by NoFate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunzet Posted August 3, 2017 Share #28 Posted August 3, 2017 that sounds really strange. so lets check on differences we have to my setup: - I am running esxi 6.0 (due to better usb 3 support for external harddisks) - I have 3 NICS (2 Intel + 1 Realtek) - On VMWare I have created 4 virtual NICS for xpe (3 in bond + 1 single as backup connectivity) - For each RDM disk I have a scsi controller SMB speed without issues > 100 MB/sec SFTP speed without issues > 95 MB/sec in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFate Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share #29 Posted August 3, 2017 ok, dont think its a esxi version issue i only have 1 nic on my hp mciroserver gen 8 / asrock j3150 scsi is out, since i dont use rdm, i created a hard disk directly on the ssd datastore where also esxi was installed but today i tested it on my work, we have here a proliant dl380 gen 9 , exsi 6.5 i did the same setup, quicly created a vmware for 5.2 , all steps are the same , followed this guide untill step 4 result, no issue on smb copy speed!!! so it must be the hardware on my hp microserver gen 8 or my asrock mainboard, this is going to be difficult....

lunzet Posted August 3, 2017 Share #30 Posted August 3, 2017 sounds like but still wondering how the hardware could affect the transfers to even stop entirely. it might slow down but should not stop entirely due to hardware. could you run a test locally with smbclient/sftp without using the nic? not sure how you could do this just wondering if its nic related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFate Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share #31 Posted August 3, 2017 well i think i tested this before, about a year ago i have several disks in the synology, so with the "file station" i copied from disk to disk , and i also had the issue within synology so there is no nic involved....

NoFate Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share #34 Posted August 9, 2017 ok, just started clean on a new HP gen 8 microserver => hp part => F9A40A => https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04123182.pdf setup bios to ahci support, dont want to use smart array inserted 1 ssd disk installed clean esxi 6.5 on that ssd , used latest build : VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-Update1-5969303-HPE-650.U1.10.1.0.14-Jul2017 created a new host with synology 5.2 to test, see screenshot of the config : https://www.dropbox.com/s/54toxj4gfn7ya5b/settings.JPG?dl=0 & https://www.dropbox.com/s/xri734f6kwhmsp7/settings2.JPG?dl=0 created 1 volume , 1 share ... , nothing else test 1 start copying ... bam ... smb copy transfer slow, created a video of it, so you can see whats actually happening : video here = https://www.dropbox.com/s/81ocyt1d2vhbigk/syn5-1.avi?dl=0 ( just coping over network 2 iso files, it starts happening from 25% ...it gets worse and worse, eventually stopped filming, because it never finishes... (see end of movie) test 2 you see 1 iso file 6 gb was succesful, rebooted synology first, whent into "file station" from synology itself, just started copying that iso file to another folder on the SAME share , bam, same issue video here = https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cpmqjoxdx60a5w/syn5-2.avi?dl=0 this can exclude network / laptop issues ... really frustating and above configuartion is pretty straight forward ... nothing fancy - same identical test when running bare metal ... no issues - same identical test when running esxi standard on a asrock mainboard n3150 , same issue , so we can exclude HP hardware , i used 6.0 there , this version : ESXi-6.0.0-20160804001-standard-customized so we can exclude 6.0 vs 6.5 ... i dont know what to test anymore...

NoFate Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share #35 Posted August 9, 2017 as a real final test, reenabled smart array in bios, created a new raid 0 array (just 1 ssd disk) started over... same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunzet Posted August 9, 2017 Share #36 Posted August 9, 2017 so while its slowing down: - whats your cpu usage? - any errors in syslog (check using ssh) there needs to be an indicator. funny eniugh its not related to smb only right? did you try again using ftp also?

NoFate Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share #37 Posted August 9, 2017 yes, tried ftp, but its slower and stable processer is normal , there is actually nothing else on that server installed, its a clean setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFate Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share #40 Posted August 9, 2017 No, but it's not network related as you can see in video 2 , it's also happening within Synology itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFate Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share #42 Posted August 10, 2017 started clean again on 5.5 , same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunzet Posted August 10, 2017 Share #43 Posted August 10, 2017 kind of expected based on all your testing with different setups. would be interesting to see if another hypervisor would show the same. amybe its a esxi issue related to your hardware. but not sure. so either run it baremetal or live with this issue right?

sagrotan Posted August 10, 2017 Share #47 Posted August 10, 2017 as I already mentioned earlier in this post: https://homeservershow.com/forums/topic/11872-esxi-65-b120i-hpvsa-hp-microserver-gen8-low-performance/ https://communities.vmware.com/thread/547372 https://seiler.it/solving-performance-issues-with-esxi-6-gen8/ I run ESX6 with scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88 without issues. Before downgrade of the driver, I had also very poor troughput. Give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFate Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share #50 Posted August 10, 2017 sagrotan, do you had slow perfomance , but a stable performance? or dou you have the same issue as i posted earlied, that you can see in the video so it starts normal at 110 , then drops till 0 kb/sec ... because those are 2 different issues...
