Hello,
i am having a lab-environment with the following hardware:
- HP 8200 ESXI-hosts with Intel Gigabit MT Dual port-cards
- HP 1810-24G Gigabit-switch with LACP
- QNAP 869PRO
I am looking for a small! step by step guide to setup op for maximum performance through iscsi and NFS with this kind of configuration.
Until now i ahve some difference experience with this setup.
Open questions
1) What to choose : NFS or Iscsi (until now NFS performance better
2) Related to question 1 --> iscsi supports VAAI, what to use? NFS or iscsi
3) Use LACP with QNAP and HP1810-24G switch or not?
4) What would be the maximum performance for a VM with this kind of configuration?
5) Recommed to use a Dvswitch for networking and why (or why not?)
Until now i did have the following results :
Read : 60 Mbps
Write : 98 Mbps
Strange thing :
Another Vm on SAME hosts , same network
Read : 30 Mbps
Write : 60 Mbps
I am hoping for some suggestions!
Thx
