Hi..
i have just installed a WMware ESXI 4.0 on my IBM M2 (7947-ZGA) server.
on this machine i have 2 guest one running server 2008 SBS and the other server 2008 STD. x64 with SQL 2008 installed
i have a problem with my SQL performance on the 2008 X64 STD. it is running a small SQL database (4Gb) for a Economy program.
when i run a READ/WRITE tests in the economy program it is slow, compared to the server that was running the database before
if look at the performance monitor on the SQL im expering high avg disk queue length.
the server is installed with 16Gb of ram, 8Gbg has been committed to each guest.
the server is installed with 2 physical CPU`s 4 cores are committed to each guest
the server is installed with 8 SAS disks
2 disk (RAID1) system disk (both guest are installed on those)
3 disk (RAID5) data share, Exchange DB on SBS server, and SQL database for SQL server.
3 disk (RAID5) data share, Exchange LOG on SBS server, and SQL log for SQL server.
there is only 30-35 users on this net, so exchange DB and SQL DB on the same disks should not be a problem i think.
enyone who has a idea to solve the avg disk queue length ??
