Slow Disks After Cluster Creation

Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2008R2 SP1 cluster, consisting of two VMWare virtual servers, which is experiencing very slow disk performance (~10mb/s when copying to or from any of the cluster disks). If I destroy the cluster and bring the disks online on a
standalone server I can get over 200mb/s.  The disks are presented as RDMs, with the two nodes on separate ESX hosts and the disks in Physical Compatibility mode.
Could anyone explain why disk performance could become so poor as soon as the cluster is created? All the tests in the cluster validation report passed.
Not sure if this helps, but I have also noticed that when I turn maintenance on for each of the disks in Failover Cluster Manager, their performance improves dramatically.
Thanks

Hi,
I don’t find out the similar issue, you’d better ask VMware® for the more assistance. Base on my experience some third party virtualization often need adjust the disk time
out value.
The third party article:
Inconsistent Windows virtual machine performance when disks are located on SAN datastores (1014)
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014
Hope this helps.

  • Why are both my Mac's so slow now after upgrading to Mavericks?

    I have 2 Macs, an MB Pro Core i5, & Mac Mini Mid 2010 Core 2 Duo, (both 4/320's) and both have remained significantly slower, even after indexing, unless indexing takes days upon days. I understand why the Mini may have taken a speed dip, but a Core i5 unit too?

    The upgrade was done over a dysfunctional system. Do this:
    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Re-download and reinstall Mavericks.
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • TS4027 Slow disk error message in 2.2.1 - even with SSD

    hi, I've been using Mainstage 2 since September 2011 and really enthousiastic on the concept. However, with version 2.1 I had a lot of bugs. The main bug was hanging notes and that is really frustrating when you are performing...
    anyway, i now upgraded to 2.2 which seems to have solved this issue but now i have a different problem. regularly MS comes with a slow disk error which could be caused by underperforming disks or freefall motion sensor. Well, because of that I upgraded to SSD and spend almost 300 euro's to have this fixed. after replacement I had a extremely fast notebook and thought all issues were over but I still get the errors! when the errors ossurs some sounds get removed from the output which is annoying...
    if anyone can help me with this?

    Hi Drew if you haven't resolved this. TRy this to see if the issue is a TRANSIENT object access error instead for submitting directly to Compressor. Do this to isolate any content error defects before making you distribution (older 2 stage workflow)..
    in FCPX 10.1, make sure the projects Primary Storyline is completely rendered - select all and cntl+R (render selection or control+shift+R)In FCPX 10.1 watch the background tasks (+9) and wait for all the rendering to be completed.... (make sure no object errors)
    in FCPX 10.1 export a master File/Share/Master File (+E) as PRORES 4xx and save it ~/Movies/Drews_final_master.mov (prores)
    in Compressor.app V4.1,
    create a new BATCH ,
    import the MASTER object ~/Movies/Drews_final_master.mov)
    (and add your setting and submit it. (dont use FCPX SEND TO COMPRESSOR just yet! until you resolve this issue)
    This process will avoid the use of transient  file storage areas that seem to be used in the FCPX to COMPRESSOR.
    Post your results for others to see

  • Mac Pro slow down after Yosemite 10.10.2 upgrade

    Upgraded in January.
    I get the spinning color wheel all the time.  Programs crash.
    I've run adware medic a few times, and etrecheck.
    First run through, adware found Genio.
    Since then, it hasn't.  Etrecheck still says it sees it, but Adware doesn't. Still no good.
    I reset SMS and PRAM.

    You have been up for ~17 days, and you have 1.72GB of pageouts.  That averages out to one page every 3 seconds, and we will assume you re not working 24/7, so when you are using your Mac you are spending a lot of time paging to disk.  Disks are slow.
    As Kappy says, you are either concurrently running too may RAM hungry apps, or you have some apps that really want lots of RAM and you are running them a lot day after day.  Either "Stop That!", or get more RAM.
    You could also consider a Solid State Disk, but that is not as good as having real RAM and would be more expensive than RAM unless you Mac is max'ed out on RAM.  Of course you could do both.  More RAM and an SSD
    If you want to see the paging for yourself, start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session, and run the command:
    sar -g 60 100
    which will report the pageout stats every minute for 100 minutes (adjust the numbers to suit your tastes).
    Now use your Mac as your normally would, including the times when it is running slow.  After you have experienced the slowness, go back and look at the 'sar' output.  If you have mostly zeros with maybe a trivial blip every once in awhile, that is noise and not a paging issue.  If you have some high numbers, then you are paging heavily at that time.  If you have sustained paging, even if small value, it is going to affect your performance.  High numbers will affect your performance even more.

  • Slow down after Mavericks Installation-can you check my EtreCheck?

    I'm not sure which one of my old programs is slowing me down. Applications and new windows open more slowly and are more likely to freeze. Could someone point me in the right direction?

    Now use your Mac as your normally would, including the times when it is running slow.  After you have experienced the slowness, go back and look at the 'sar' output.  If you have mostly zeros with maybe a trivial blip every once in awhile, that is noise and not a paging issue.  If you have some high numbers, then you are paging heavily at that time.  If you have sustained paging, even if small value, it is going to affect your performance.  High numbers will affect your performance even more.

  • Slow down after installing Lion OS

    My Macbook pro later than 2009 model slowed down after installing the new OS Lion
    any suggestions to speed it up

    First suggestion ,there have been a number of identical user questions like yours, in the Lion Community. If you want to talk to other MacBook Pro owners, try the forum they have.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    What you do not need is some gizmo to "speed up" or clean caches etc.
    Maybe you need to make more room on your hard drive, or add more RAM.
    For now, hold down Command-R and run Disk Utility to check the health of your system drive (Lion Recovery Mode)

  • Compleat system slow down after current updates

    Has anyone learned why we all seem to have a compleat system slow down after the current set of updates? Everything works, but is VERY slow to respond. Even iTunes 7.1.1 plays video choppy now. Audio track plays fine however. Odd.
    -Apple //GS

    First of all, try repairing your permissions with Applications> Utilities> Disk Utility. Select the hard drive you're running off of and then click the Repair Permissions button.
    If that doesn't work I'd do an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Then run the combo update(s) instead of the consecutive ones. That seems to be working for a lot of people, but it will probably take a while.

  • System slow down after lion update 8/18/11

    Has anyone else had a problem with their system slowing down after downloading the system update for Lion on 8/18?  My system is not nearly as responsive and is only about two weeks old and have not installed any software other than Microsoft Office 2011 when I bought the machine.  Any ideas?

    Ok my system is booting and shutting down faster now.. This method worked for me:
    First, I repaired the permissions:
    1) Open up Disk Utility
    2) Select your hard drive
    3) Now select Repair Disk Permissions.
    Then, I deleted the caches folder:
    1) From the Finder's Go menu, select Go To Folder, and go to this folder: /Library
    2) Delete everything inside the Caches folder (This might require the Admin Username & Password)
    Finally, go to System Preferences and click on Startup Disc then click on your boot drive (In my case I've selected my HD labeled "Macintosh HD Mac OS X, 10.7.1". Now do a restart by clicking on the Restart button. If you don't have a Startup drive selected your mac will waste time at boot searching for a suitable boot drive !
    I Hope this works for you as well.
    Cheers!

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 Cluster Creation Fails

    I am trying to create a 2 Node Hyper-v 2012 R2 Cluster.  The Cluster Validation passes with no errors or warnings but the the cluster creation fails. 
    The error is similar to
    here . 
    In this case he solved it by joining the Nodes to a Windows 2012 Domain.  We don't have that option in  our environment. 
    In the System Logs Events 7024 The cluster service terminated... The cluster join operation failed,  and 7031 Cluster Services Terminated unexpectedly. 
    Anyone have an idea?
    Todd

    Hi Todd,
    For troubleshooting , please try to create a new OU then move cluster nodes computer to that new OU then block inheritance , restart the nodes .
    After this try to use domain admin account logon the cluster nodes to build cluster again .
    Best Regards,

  • Macbook pro slow internet after upgrade osx mountain lion

    Slow safari after upgrade to osx moutain lion.

    Have you reset Safari? Yet?  Top left corner of the screen next to the apple logo click on the word Safari, then click reset safari, make sure everything is checked then click reset.  Also try:
    Repair your permissions.  Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.

  • Mountain Lion OSX slow response after upgrade from Lion

    I have issues now to open Microsift Outlook Mail application as it is very slow in opening and all this is after install OSX ML only, frustrating time again

    Nilhan, I believe I found my problem which affected two machines running ML 10.8.  I found two Outlook preferences files - identical but for date - that I believe were causing a conflict.
    It was intuition that led me to search for this.  I noticed the splash screen text was mentioning that Outlook was looking for identities on startup.  I'd never before noticed this, or it happened so quickly that I've never seen it.   In any event, I did a search for all files name "outlook" using the program EasyFind.  When the search completed, I sorted the found files by type.  I was looking for duplicate preferences - and I found them.
    There were two folders named "Office 2011."  One was in (user) > Library > Preferences > Microsoft.  The other was in (user) > Library > Application Support > Microsoft > Office > Preferences.  These two identically named folders each had similar items enclosed, including a file named "Outlook Preferences."  The dates on the "Outlook Preferences" files were not the same, although they were the same size.  The date on the older file corresponds to a Microsoft Office update which was supposed to move things to locations required by Mountain Lion.  The older files (some of the file dates were current - yet duplicates in name of others) were in the location: (user) > Library > Preferences > Microsoft.
    I moved the "Office 2011" folder located in (user) > Library > Preferences > Microsoft to the trash.  I did not empty the trash just out of caution, although I probably will ...or even archive them via a zip file, etc.  Next, I restarted my machine.  After logging in, I rebuilt the Outlook database using Microsoft Database Utility (hold the Option key and start Outlook to start it).  I then backed up my Main Identity to a separate disk as another caution.  Next, I once again restarted.
    After giving the machine a little time to settle down, I opened Outlook 2011.  Outlook now opened many times faster then before.  I would venture to say that it is now opening as quickly as before the 10.8 ML install.  All functions within Outlook also seem to be at normal speed.
    This process was repeated on another Mac with a new install of 10.8 ML and Office 2011.  I had tested Outlook on that machine, and it was slow.  After the deletion of the duplicate preference files, Outlook was fast as ever - noticeably very fast.  It was a vast difference on that machine.  The Main Identity database is much smaller on that machine than the previous machine, so it should be quicker.  Still, it was a tremendous difference in speed after I dumped the older preferences on it.
    I am no expert on the workings of 10.8 ML compared to earlier versions of OS X, but I do understand that certain preference files are now required to be in a certain place ...different than earlier versions, or perhaps just mandating that all preference files be in a universal spot.  Something like that...  In any event, 10.8 ML was not the problem, but seems to have brought a problem to light.  If I am going to point a finger, I will point it at a Microsoft Office update that didn't quite do its job correctly.  There was trouble with an Office update not long ago, and I suspect I was a victim of that.
    Maybe you are, too.  Hope this helps.

  • Slow - Unusable after upgrade - MacPro Mid2012

    Upgraded to Yosemite. Plenty of GB space (72 remaining). Ran Disk Utility Repair from Safe Mode (no issues). Reset SMC and NVRAM. Have re-installed as well. I do not have a Time Machine Back Up saved so I am against a complete restore at the time.
    I need some other tips to either fix/speed up this issue, or a way to Save All Documents to an External in order to try a complete restore...
    Thanks for the suggestions.
