Unexpectedly slow VM performance in VMware - Lenovo x86 Servers

SymptomsLenovo servers based on Intel x86 architecture may exhibit poor virtual machine application performance when processor power management is implemented either by VMware ESXi/ESX or by the server hardware via Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) settings.
Symptoms:
Virtual machine application performance is poor when compared to another host.
Applications run slower than expected. When they are moved to another host, performance improves.
Virtual machines encounter higher than expected Central Processing Unit (CPU) %Ready times in ESXTOP.
Processor Power Management (Power Saving, Power Scaling) is impacting application performance on virtual machines.
vDGA/vSGA performance is sluggish on View desktops.
Tera2800 performance is less than expected in a View PCoIP session.
Note: In some situations it was observed that disabling power management policies in system UEFI and vSphere Client has resolved intermittent 'Uncorrectable Bus Errors' or system reboots.
(where PCoIP = PC Over IP)
DiagnosisThe system is configured with at least one of the following:
Lenovo Custom Image for ESXi 5.1.0, any model Any Update
Lenovo Custom Image for ESXi 5.5.0, any model Any Update

  • Lenovo x86 servers can help improve your bottom line

    The Alinean study shows that migrating from older HP Integrity servers to Lenovo x86 servers helped ... A majority of the savings came from reduced hardware/software purchases and maintenance costs. In some cases, companies will be able to purchase new and highly efficient X6 Enterprise servers for less than what companies are paying for annual maintenance on their current HP servers.
    If you are moving to higher density servers, are you seeing a reduction in the physical size of your data center? Or are you maintaining floor space and adding more capacity? What types of servers are within your data center?   What factors most in your operational costs ?

    Maybe I didn't understand you, but why are you putting a file with 50000 rows as one single BLOB into a DB? Don't you think it's time for a new table?

  • T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

    Hi everybody,
    I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
    Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
    The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
    The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
    The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
    Anybody experience on this?
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
    What are you using to check graphics performance?

  • Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

    Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

    Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
    Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
    Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
    Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
    The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

  • Kapsel Fiori Client (FC): self-built iOS FC shows very slow UI performance

    Hi Experts,
    I have used KapselSDK to build our own FC using:
    SMP3.0 KapselSDK SP07_PL00
    Cordova 3.6.3
    Xcode 6.2
    OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite
    Enterprise distribution certificate for deplyment
    .ipa for iPhone4S, 5 (tested)
    ipd also inside Airwatch (tested)
    App config:
      SMP proxy is not used.
    The issue:
    We use FC to launch the Fiori Launchpad where there are some Fiori apps. The problem is that after type usr pwd, it took very long time to see the Launchpad UI. Tried the standard FC from Apple Store, and it worked very fast.
    Does anyone have any idea? I see some info about the slow UI performance for Android devices which can be solved using crosswalk, but my understanding is that crosswalk is not for iOS.
    Thanks.
    Dong

    Have you tired testing the same URL through Mobile Safari to see if it is slow also?
    We have had reports of slowness on iOS and we are researching.  The details are iOS uses HTTP pipelining when the connection is slow. This means iOS bundles several requests (2-3 to our observations) together but the ICM does only response to one of them and ignores the others. After a timeout of about 1 minute (transparent to the FLP) the Safari automatically repeats the ignored requests. It may happen that this happens a second time, but not a third time – then the requests are not repeated anymore.  Seems to happen in Mobile Safari Browser more often than Fiori Client and doesn't happen in Mobile Chrome on same device.
    Thanks,

    EXTREMELY SLOW XQUERY PERFORMANCE AND SLOW DOCUMENT INSERTS.
    Resolution History
    12-JUN-07 15:01:17 GMT
    ### Complete Problem Description ###
    A test file is being used to do inserts into a schemaless XML DB. The file is inserted and then links are made to 4
    different collection folders under /public. The inserts are pretty slow (about
    15 per second and the file is small)but the xquery doesn't even complete when
    there are 500 documents to query against.
    The same xquery has been tested on a competitors system and it has lightening fast performance there. I know it
    should likewise be fast on Oracle, but I haven't been able to figure out what
    is going on except that I suspect somehow a cartesian product is the result of
    the query on Oracle.
    ### SQLXML, XQUERY, PL/SQL syntax used ###
    Here is the key plsql code that calls the DBMS_XDB procedures:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "XDB"."RESOURCEARRAY" AS VARRAY(500) OF VARCHAR2(256);
    PROCEDURE AddOrReplaceResource(
    resourceUri VARCHAR2,

    EXCEPTION
    WHEN resource_exists THEN
    DELETE FROM resource_view WHERE equals_path(res, privateResourceUri)=1;
    b := dbms_xdb.createResource(privateResourceUri, resourceContents);
    END;
    /* add a link in /public/<collection-name> for each collection passed in */
    FOR i IN 1 .. public_collections.count LOOP
    BEGIN
    dbms_xdb.link(privateResourceUri,public_collections(i),resourceUri);

  • Does loading too many classes into jvm slow down performance?

    hi all,
    does loading too many classes into jvm will slow down performance. Our application is CPU bound, if we use any framework we need to load all the classes related to that framework in JVM. Does this have any effect on the performance of the JVM.
    thanks and regards,
    akmal

    does loading many classes into jvm slow down performance.It will increase the time it takes for the JVM to load your application.
    Our application is CPU boundThe time it takes the JVM to load your application is not likely to be an issue for you then.

  • Jdbc thin driver bulk binding slow insertion performance problem

    Hello All,
    We have a third party application reporting slow insertion performance, while I traced the session and found out most of elapsed time for one insert execution is sql*net more data from client, it appears bulk binding is being used here because one execution has 200 rows inserted. I am wondering whether this has something to do with their jdbc thin driver(10.1.0.2 version) and our database version 9205. Do you have any similar experience on this, what other possible directions should I explore?
    here is the trace report from 10046 event, I hide table name for privacy reason.
    Besides, I tested bulk binding in PL/SQL to insert 200 rows in one execution, no problem at all. Network folks confirm that network should not be an issue as well, ping time from app server to db server is sub milisecond and they are in the same data center.

    I have exactly the same problem, I tried to find out what is going on, changed several JDBC Drivers on AIX, but no hope, I also have ran the process on my laptop which produced a better and faster performance.
    Therefore I made a special solution ( not practical) by creating flat files and defining the data as an external table, the oracle will read the data in those files as they were data inside a table, this gave me very fast insertion into the database, but still I am looking for an answer for your question here. Using Oracle on AIX machine is a normal business process followed by a lot of companies and there must be a solution for this.

    I have exactly the same problem, I tried to find out what is going on, changed several JDBC Drivers on AIX, but no hope, I also have ran the process on my laptop which produced a better and faster performance.
    Therefore I made a special solution ( not practical) by creating flat files and defining the data as an external table, the oracle will read the data in those files as they were data inside a table, this gave me very fast insertion into the database, but still I am looking for an answer for your question here. Using Oracle on AIX machine is a normal business process followed by a lot of companies and there must be a solution for this.

  • Continued SLOW online performance after two Archive & Installs

    Hi.
    I have been living with slow online performance – pages slow to load, movies very slow to load, movies don't play back smoothly, constant buffering – for some 3-4 months before trying to do something about it... (this timeline coincides with a potential Security Update 2008-006 issue discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1730909&tstart=0 , but I don't have enough savvy to know if that's the problem.)
    Equivalent slow performance in both Safari and Firefox... I've compared the same sites I visit on other peoples workstations, PC and Mac, various ISPs – all of their pages and movies light up and play instantly.
    Tried to research and do as much as I could before coming here, but I don't have great diagnostic skills... here's what I've got so far:
    By late November, I managed to eliminate the ISP (Earthlink) as a cause of the problem... however, due to their direction to change DNS numbers, I can no longer automatically connect online upon booting, but must repeatedly connect via Internet Connect (separate issue?)... via these forums, I've reset the DNS to 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222.
    Neither hard drive is even half full.
    I did an initial Disk and Permissions Repair prior to first A&I... they needed repair then, but subsequent verifications check out clean.
    After the first A&I (using the original OS X 10.4 install disk), I downloaded a complete full 10.4.11 update, including all current Security Updates... performance wound up much the same as before.
    After the second A&I, and before any updating, I tested online performance – still slow... this time I downloaded only the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combined Update from November 07, looking to avoid the 2008-006 Security Update... general browsing speed is slightly improved, but any site with a movie or rich graphics behaves like dial-up, as before... Mail is just ok – not fast, but not problematic.
    Otherwise, the Mac works well enough, but it's never been a real speed-burner, imo... mainstream graphics apps (Adobe CS2, Quark 6)... the only atypical thing I might have is a Wacom graphics tablet (Intuos 3), but it's always worked fine... no games or brand-X playtime software.
    The only other thing I'd be suspicious of is Network Settings, after getting the runaround at Earthlink... but the fact that I can get online at all might rule that out.
    I've been at this for days, and am out of ideas... little help?
    Thanx.

    OK, network settings is the scary stuff that I DO NOT understand...

    I found the PPPoE subpane.
    Made the New location, it seemed to work briefly, then didn't, then I fumbled my way back to prior settings... I'm willing to try it again, BUT...
    What scared me was that after setting New Location, the browser window opened to something called *Internet Configurator*, never seen this before... it asked for my email and password... is this normal?... I've got major privacy and security concerns and DO NOT want to put that password out there if I don't have to.
    Please advise before I do this... thanks.

  • Regarding the performance comparision of application/web servers

    i want the details of performance comparision of application/web servers and which is the best, efficient and easy to use.

    Try google.
    However for the most part the performance is not related to the application/web server that you use.
    It more depends on
    - the machine you are running it on
    - what code you are running on it.
    With regards to "best", you can debate that forever.
    Tomcat is widely used, mainly because it is free. But it is solid.
