Network Speed in VM not optimus

Hello EveryBody
We installed OVM 3.0.2. 2 OVM servers in a ProLiant BL460c G6 with 64gb & 1 OMV Manager in Oracle Linux 5.6. The storage is a SAN EVA 4400.
We created some virtual machines like Oracle Linux 5.6 & 5.7 in 32 bits & 64 bits
We noticed bad performance to copy files from and to the virtuals machines
For example we made a scp of big file and the spped was 2 or 3 kbps
Then we saw the Bug 10391121: NETWORK PERFORMANCE SEVERLY POOR WITH CURRENT BNX2X DRIVER DUE TO BUG
Our intefaces in OVM Servers
# dmesg | grep duplex
[  230.811546] bnx2x 0000:02:00.0: eth0: NIC Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex
[  232.245728] bnx2x 0000:02:00.1: eth1: NIC Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex
We added to /etc/modprobe.conf
options bnx2x disable_tpa=1
Restarted the OVM Servers and the performace was better
A secure copy like 10 o 11 MBps
(OracleVM-Manager-3.0.1.iso 100% 2432MB 11.2MB/s 03:37)
Nevertheless we have OVM 2.2.2 and the speed is like 20 or 30 MBps
So we believe that the network performace speed is not the optimus
Is there any other parameter that we can tune in order to improve the performance?
Regards

The slowdown is possible as the sparse file is expanded on disk. In 3.0.3 we provide the option to create non-sparse disk images. These images take much longer to create initially, as we allocate the entire storage upfront, but have more consistent performance.
Also, you may want to try mapping physical LUNs (if you use FC/iSCSI) directly into your guest to see what performance you get on those.

  • I am desperate!! slow choppy network speeds (not actual inability to cnnct)

    I have a 13" macbook air that has the following problem: I can connect to wifi networks (including at home WPA and also tried WPA2 settings) but even though I may get proper speed at first, I soon lose that and it becomes much slower and choppy (if I open activity monitor I can see the speed going up and down like crazy...). My internet speed at home is 12mpbs set by my provider. When I perform speed tests (vis speedtest.net or downloading files from other speed test sites) on my windows PC that is also on this network I get the full download speed. However with this MAC while I initially did get the full speed, it is now down to an average of 3-5mbps and the activity monitor, again, shows choppy behavior so it will be at 8 then at zero almost and then up and down again but never near the full speed. I tried to connect to other networks and I have the same problem - once this happens it stays. I tried removing the airport connection in network preferences and adding it again it does not help.
    I TALKED TO APPLE AND HAD MY COMPUTER TESTED BY THEM - they didn't find any hardware issues (they said it was fine - but it isn't) but they still replaced the airport hardware in the computer - both the chip and the antenna (which meant replacing the entire screen). I brought the computer home, ran a speed test and everything was fine. I thought GREAT but then something happened and the problem returned. What I did (which I think was unrelated) was connect via SMB to a PC at home and I tried to stream a movie file. I noticed it kept 'pausing' so I opened up activity monitor again and to my HORROR I saw the choppy wave with network speed very inconsistent going up and down like crazy... I tried connecting to my slingox using the sling web access after disconnecting from my home PC but got partial speed and lots of drops too. I tried the speed test again multiple times, nothing seems to work.
    SO I don't know what to do at this point. I have 10.6.6 running. I heard something about a firmware update but I am new to mac so not sure how to even do that or what else I can do to solve this problem or what is causing it. BTW - logging in now from the guest account still does not fix the issues and they remain the same.
    I am desperately looking for help!!
    Thanks a lot!

    Have you been able to reproduce your problems on other wireless networks other than at your house? It appears you are saying that this occurs on all wireless, but I'm not sure from your comment. If it's only at home, it would appear to be a compatibility issue between your wireless access point and the Macbook Air, which isn't uncommon. Sometimes a firmware upgrade to the access point can fix it, sometimes it might require switching to a different brand of access point. It would be great if you could borrow (or buy and return) a different access point/router to test. An Apple airport would be the best to use of course. Not the easiest solution, but lets you help rule out a hardware issue with your air.
    My isp provides 15mbps but my wireless devices such as my iphone, ipad, laptop usually only get 6.5-8 mbps when testing speeds to the internet. I don't expect it to be as good as the wired due to interference, signal, etc. I don't get the choppy behavior however. Firware updates from Apple will appear in the same manner as standard software updates. If there is one available for your system it should appear when you check for software updates. That being said, I believe you can also manually download them from the Apple site.

  • Airport network speed - quick answer (and a note about audio drop offs)

    I saw this question come up a lot when i was reading how to stop the airport express from dropping the audio signal... **How much bandwidth is all this using?**
    Quick answer is about a half a Megabit per second on my network. yipes.
    to check for yourself (...if you're using XP...), press control-alt-delete to open the Task Manager, then go to the Networking tab. You'll be able to see your usage there. Multiply the percent of Network Utilization by the Link Speed (for me, about 9% times by 11Mbps = 1Mbit used per second, but I stream 2 connections at all times, so that's where we get 1/2 Mb)...keep in mind that your network utilization is really determined by your router's make and configuration, as well as (and this is the real factor) the amount of collisions and interference in your network.
    *and a note about a healthy airport signal and audio drop offs*
    ... looking at the Networking tab, you shouldn't see an eratic graph (it shouldnt jump back and forth from 0% to 100% and back). a few high spikes every few seconds is ok, even rising to 100% is expected, but if your average network usage is too high (say 20%), there's too much interference. secure your network (WEP enable) and/or filter the MAC addresses. AND play around with the wireless channel used for boradcasting. really.. try it... try all the channels... i got really discouraged reading all the voodoo answers on other posts. (personally, i stayed on channel 6,... i rebooted my whole network of computers and routers at once and that got rid of the congestion for me... for now)
    ...and if all else fails, call 800 275 2273 for tech support.

    Selamat Phil Smith,
    Actually do we know each other, cause i know a phil smith.
    Actually an ether net cable is OK for the short term. But if i get another computer it may get complex. Spent a lot removing cables too.... Looks like i will have to buy the special modem router... Painful $600.
    This share internet thing over airport looks like a great idea till you realise it disables access to the ariport network for the computer doing the sharing.
    Cheers and thanks for the idea

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • Network speed affected by large file copy operations. Also, why intermittent network outages?

    Hi
    I have a couple of issues on our company network.
    The first is thate a single large file copy imapcts the entire network and dramatically reduces network speed and the second is that there are periodic outages where file open/close/save operations may appear to hang, and also where programs that rely on
    network connectivity e.g. email, appear to hang. It is as though the PC loses it's connection to the network, but the status of the network icon does not change. For the second issue if we wait the program will respond but the wait period can be up to 1min.
    The downside of this is that this affects Access databases on our server so that when an 'outage' occurs the Access client cannot recover and hangs permamnently.
    We have a Windows Active Directory domain that comprises Windows 2003 R2 (soon to be decommissioned), Windows Server 2008 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard domain controllers. There are two member servers: A file server running Windows 2008 Storage
    Server and a remote access server (which also runs WSUS) running Windows Server 2012 Standard. The clients comprise about 35 Win7 PC's and 1 Vista PC.
    When I copy or move a large file from the 2008 Storage Server to my Win7 client other staff experience massive slowdowns when accessing the network. Recently I was moving several files from the Storage Server to my local drive. The files comprised pairs
    (e.g. folo76t5.pmm and folo76t5.pmi), one of which is less than 1MB and the other varies between 1.5 - 1.9GB. I was moving two files at a time so the total file size for each operation was just under 2GB.
    While the file move operation was taking place a colleague was trying to open a 36k Excel file. After waiting 3mins he asked me for help. I did some tests and noticed that when I was not copying large files he could open the Excel file immediately. When
    I started copying more data from the Storage Server to my local drive it took several minutes before his PC could open the Excel file.
    I also noticed on my Win7 client that our email client (Pegasus Mail), which was the only application I had open at the time would hang when the move operation was started and it would take at least a minute for it to start responding.
    Ordinarlily we work with many files
    Anyone have any suggestions, please? This is something that is affecting all clients. I can't carry out file maintenance on large files during normal work hours if network speed is going to be so badly impacted.
    I'm still working on the intermittent network outages (the second issue), but if anyone has any suggestions about what may be causing this I would be grateful if you could share them.
    Thanks

    What have you checked for resource usage during one of these copies of a large file?
    At a minimum I would check Task Manager>Resource Monitor.  In particular check the disk and network usage.  Also, look at RAM and CPU while the copy is taking place.
    What RAID level is there on the file server?
    There are many possible areas that could be causing your problem(s).  And it could be more than one thing.  Start by checking these things.  And go from there.
    Hi, JohnB352
    Thanks for the suggestions. I have monitored the server and can see that the memory is nearly maxed out with a lot of hard faults (varies between several hundred to several thousand), recorded during normal usage. The Disk and CPU seem normal.
    I'm going to replace the RAM and double it up to 12GB.
    Thanks! This may help with some other issues we are having. I'll post back after it has been done.
    [Edit]
    Forgot to mention: there are 6 drives in the server. 2 for the OS (Mirrored RAID 1) and 4 for the data (Striped RAID 5).

  • [SOLVED] Network speed very slow, no apparent reason

    Hello, recently I switched from Windows 7 RC1 to Arch on my home machine (I have used Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Fedora 10 on the same machine in the past), and for some reason network speed is very slow.
    I have Verizon's 20mbit/5mbit package, and I have always gotten that speed.
    Using speedtest.net and 100mb.test from cachefly on multiple computers I have come to the conclusion that it is infact my Arch install that is causing the problem:
    - All other machines on my network are getting 20/5 (both wired and wireless)
    - I ran a speedtest from 2 other machines using the ethernet cable that this PC is on.  Again, full 20/5.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> other Arch box: ~2.8MB/s.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from other Arch box -> this PC: ~2.8MB/s.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> UK VPS (100mbit line): ~539KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from UK VPS -> this PC: ~76KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> Chicago Server (dual gbit lines): ~563KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from Chicago Server -> this PC: ~91KB/s
    speedtest.net result:
    Upload speed seems to be unaffected.
    I have tried disabling TCP window scaling, and appending my hostname to /etc/hosts.
    What is weird though is that the other Arch box has an identical network config,  I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
    My NIC is an integrated Realtek something, I can get the exact model if needed.

    Hi, whipsch
    Can you try ethtool to see if your ethernet card is actually negociating and using a 100Mb full duplex link on your LAN ? If not you can try to force the link parameter with ethtool. Also maybe the driver of your NIc has options related to link negociation.
    Hope this helps,

  • "The Pure Networks Platform Service Is Not Running" every time I print

    I will be glad to follow-up with all the gory details about my system, but I thought I'd throw out a general question first.  I just installed a network printer to my NM Network.  It's a Lexmark 543dn connected via ethernet.  Everything prints just fine, the Map shows it as a Network Printer,etc..
    The only problem is that every time I print, the Platform Service stops running and I get a general Windows Error message asking whether I want to "report" the error.  You know the one...you have to click SEND or DO NOT SEND.   The Platform can be easily restarted without problems.  Is this a common problem..with hopefully a common solution?
    FWIW, it becomes a pain when the kids have to come fetch me when the error message comes up; they think they did something wrong.   Plus, if I'm not mistaken they need to restart the platform service if they want to continue printing to the sole color laser in the house.

    Hi, we do need the info in the sticky topic so we can see what your hardware and software is.  Not all crashes happen on all systems.

  • Standard local network speed test?

    I recently setup up a dual-band (dedicated n, dedicated g) wireless network, and I think I am having some issues with throughput (qualitative observation). So I started trying to find a good metric for performance of the wireless systems. Note, I am talking here about the local wireless (Airport devices between home computers), not the connected internet speed (cable, DSL, fiber).
    I see a lot of people copying files and timing the transfer. Is this the best there is? From what I've read, ping isn't such a good metric for network throughput. You can watch the kb/s transfer report on copy, but that isn't exactly stable or indicative of general performance. Any other tools, programs, methods, etc.? Or should I just be timing file transfers?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I know how to handle and suppress errors in LabView. I was mainly looking for a good example on a network speed test.
    The test we have uses was written by one of our software guys, it uses two computers in a client-server arrangement and stops and displays an error message when the client computer loses connection to the server. Regardless of the reasoning I have given the programmer refuses to change it because he wrote the test for him and that's how he wants it.
    I want a program that can use one computer with two network cards. 
    It will send a data stream out one NIC, through the UUT, and back in the other NIC.
    Where it Will be checked for errors and dropped packets, and sent back through the UUT.
    A continuous throughput speed measurment will also be logged along with errors, dropped packets, and retries.
    I have never used any of the LV networking, tcp, etc  VI's and was hoping someone had done this before because I do not have time to start from scratch.

  • OVM 3.0 - network speed

    Hi together,
    quick question regarding domU network throughput in OVM 3.0.3.
    We did a very simple TCP Network Throughput Benchmark with NETIO and ended up with the following result.
    Setup:
    - OVM Server 3.0.3 on x86_64
    - OVM Guests OEL 5.7 64bit (2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek) PVM with xennet
    - 10Gbit physical network (especially for the bonds serving the VM network bridges)
    Network Speed between two different dom0`s:
    Packet size 1k bytes: 320.12 MByte/s Tx, 302.97 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 2k bytes: 367.94 MByte/s Tx, 472.63 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 4k bytes: 694.60 MByte/s Tx, 841.67 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 8k bytes: 953.76 MByte/s Tx, 972.38 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 16k bytes: 1012.60 MByte/s Tx, 1.017 GByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 32k bytes: 1.002 GByte/s Tx, 1.008 GByte/s Rx.
    Network Speed between two domU´s  running on the same dom0:
    Packet size 1k bytes: 354.65 MByte/s Tx, 382.91 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 2k bytes: 468.07 MByte/s Tx, 473.96 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 4k bytes: 495.54 MByte/s Tx, 575.83 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 8k bytes: 526.07 MByte/s Tx, 548.81 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 16k bytes: 533.61 MByte/s Tx, 603.46 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 32k bytes: 571.73 MByte/s Tx, 650.30 MByte/s Rx.
    Network Speed between two domU´s running on different dom0`s:
    Packet size 1k bytes: 155.06 MByte/s Tx, 156.07 MByte/s Rx.
    Packet size 2k bytes: 176.94 MByte/s Tx, 196.74 MByte/s Rx.

    Packet size 32k bytes: 185.55 MByte/s Tx, 204.82 MByte/s Rx.
    As you can see, the domU`s on two different OVM Servers have arround 80% performance loss compared to the available speed on the dom0 layer.
    2 domU´s on the same dom0 are around 50% slower.
    Is that normal?
    If not, what can be tweaked?
    Some reference measurements on other environments would be great.
    Thanks,

    I had a similar slowdown due to dropped packets (and the necessary retransmissions) using a private network on a single host. See thread: Re: Private network dropping packets
    It resulted in a bug but there was a workaround. I'd do an 'ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off sg off tso off' and then an 'ethtool -K eth0 rx on tx on sg on tso on'.
    a) the second command undoes what the first command does,
    b) my network path does not include eth0 in the link that is dropping packets!
    c) the commands must be repeated after any host reboot.
    I have no idea what might be the underlying cause - my guess is an obscure race condition in the Oracle xen network stack - so I have no idea if this workaround will affect your issue. You can try the pair of commands on both hosts (pick any interface) and see what happens. You also might look at the traffic to see if dropped packets are the problem and pin down where they are being dropped - that will be tedious!
    Good Luck!

  • Looking for Third Party VPN W/O Significant Network Speed Hit

    As the title indicates, I am looking for a VPN app (Windows) which will not significantly ding my network speed. I have FiOS (75/35). I understand there is normally a speed drop while connected to a VPN but dropping from 75Mbps to 1.5Mbps is unacceptable. I have only tested Spotflux so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    To clarify, any app would have to be compatible with PeerBlock. I do not care about advertising as Ad Block Plus takes care of that. As for speed, on average, I would expect no less than 20-30Mbps. Also, I want the ability to choose my own servers (whether foreign or domestic).

    Check out https://www.ipvanish.com
    I'm on a mac, but the windows app works well too. While connected to one of the Miami servers, which are in the same state as me, I can often get nearly my full 75 Mbps down when using openvpn (udp). IPVanish has servers around the world, some have better speeds than others. Your speed will depend on a few factors, distance from server being used, server load, etc. For best results I'd suggest using one of the "A" servers, example mia-a01, lon-a02, nrt-a01, etc.

  • Network speed WAY down for internet - help??

    I have 3 airport extreme's set up as a WDN. It all works great. Internet is fast through a cable modem attached to the main stations WAN port.
    It seems though that when "certain" users are getting into heavy internet traffic, seemingly large continuous downloads, the REST of the network is slowing down. The internet slows down to a CRAWL, so much so that eventually safari brings up the "network troublshooting" thing.
    What is perplexing about this is that when I try to remote desktop to another machine on the LAN, THIS TOO has slowed to a crawl! There are no other LAN transfers or interactions between machines going on, ONLY NAT/DHCP net access.
    I KNOW it is other users, because when I disconnect the internet, the network speed instantly goes back to super fast, remote desktop works great etc, then it seems somebody is starting their download again (ha ha that I just disconnected) and suddenly it's crawling. This doesn't seem right, not with only 3 - 5 users on a 3 base station system, and a 1Mb/s internet cable connection.... does it? At least, if the internet is slowing down, other LAN traffic (non internet related) should not right?? This is the part that has got me confused.
    Also is there any software out there that will let me see stats from the main station in regards to:
    - DHCP LAN assignments
    - and upload / download traffic of each of those LAN addresses and other information.
    Thanks,
    Miklos.
    PS Just to be clear when the internet is extremely slow it is not one particular site - email doesn't work, and the same site, reloaded again and again does not load - the rest of the network is simultaneously slow - I disconnect the internet (log off via simple software app supplied by the ISP) and within 5 - 10 seconds, network speed is visibly up - things start loading properly, and the internet - the same site, starts to load very fast.
    My dilemma is how can the internet usage slow the REST of the network, when it's a very fast system! Another point: I am NOT resetting the base stations, they are remaining online and nobody is getting bumped off, I'm only disconnecting the internet feed that's ALL, so it's not like they're getting kicked off and then network speed is resuming, they are still in effect logged on to the network, they just can't access the internet.

    Did you run it in store? If so, the wireless instore is notoriously bogged down/slow with all the things connected to it.

  • Drop in network speed

    Does anyone have a clue why my 5/11 MBP has a HUGE decrease in network speed when I connect to my older ACD + Logitech Wave wireless keyboard + external hard drive.  I also use the same wireless keyboard and mouse and another firewire external HD *but a 2011 ACD* without any decrease in network speed.
    Could attaching the older display be causing a problem?  It never was with my 2009 MBP.

    Ah-ha! Snow Leopard Server is wonderful, but it's also a little bit nosy and a little too take-charge for its own good. The server had forced its local IP address into a position as one of the DNS servers, which it was not in a position to do. For whatever reason, this did not affect the secured network, but the guest network didn't like it. Actually, correction, on the main network, performance seems to have picked up!

  • Network speed test in jsp

    I would like to know which APIs are necessary to develop a network speed tester in jsp or which method to do this, knowing about which APIs it's necessary, I will study them. Here is a example of a network speed tester that I'm trying to do
    Examples:
    http://www.coiinc.com/speedtest/initialmeter.php
    http://www.pcativo.com.br/testes.asp?teste_tipo=velocidade
    http://www.navegante.com.br/medidor/initialmeter.php
    http://medidor.interair.com.br/
    http://www.rjnet.com.br/velocimetro/index2.htm

    Sir,
    For at least a couple of these options it appears that the test is actually based on JavaScript.
    What seems to happen is that at the beginning of the page there is a JavaScript variable that is set with the time.
    Then there is a big amount of some sort of data. Which I would guess has been measured to be X big. Let's say 1 MB.
    Finally there is another bit of Javascript which again takes the time and then finds out the difference and from that one can sort of conclude the time difference.
    But I am not convinced this will always work perfectly but who knows... anyway your use of JSP wouldn't preclude you from just basically copying what these others are doing.
    Sincerely,
    Slappy
