Why does my 10GB iSCSI setup seem see such high latency and how can I fix it?

I have a iscsi server setup with the following configuration
Dell R510
Perc H700 Raid controller
Windows Server 2012 R2
Intel Ethernet X520 10Gb
12 near line SAS drives
I have tried both Starwind and the built in Server 2012 iscsi software but see similar results.  I am currently running the latest version of starwinds free
iscsi server.
I have connected it to a HP 8212 10Gb port which is also connected via 10Gb to our vmware servers.  I have a dedicated vlan just for iscsi and have enabled
jumbo frames on the vlan.
I frequently see very high latency on my iscsi storage.  So much so that it can timeout or hang vmware.  I am not sure why.  I can run IOmeter and
get some pretty decent results.
I am trying to determine why I see such high latency 100'ms.  It doesn't seem to always happen, but several times throughout the day, vmware is complaining
about the latency of the datastore.  I have a 10Gb iscsi connection between the servers.  I wouldn't expect the disks to be able to max that out.  The highest I could see when running IO meter was around 5Gb.  I also don't see much load
at all on the iscsi server when I see the high latency.  It seems network related, but I am not sure what settings I could check.  The 10Gb connect should be plenty as I said and it is no where near maxing that out.
Any thoughts about any configuration changes I could make to my vmware enviroment, network card settings or any ideas on where I can troubleshoot this.  I
am not able to find what is causing it.  I reference this document and for changes to my iscsi settings

If both StarWind and MSFT target show the same numbers I can guess it's network configuration issue. Anything higher then 30 ms is a nightmare :( Did you properly tune your network stacks? What numbers (x-put and latency) you get for raw TCP numbers (NTtcp
and Iperf are handy to show)?
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • Why does my Macbook show it's the year 2554 BE? How can I fix it?

    My Macbook stopped showing the correct year. It shows that it is the year "2554 BE" I don't even know what BE stands for!
    The time, month, and day are all right but the year keeps bugging me!
    The text is in spanish but I guess we all get the same window.
    1) I tried changing the year but the lowest it can go is "2512 BE".
    2) I tried Reseting the time and date but it didn't work either.
    3) And I also tried setting the Time and Date to automatically change and took me back to "2554".
    What else can I do?
    P.S. My macbook is up to date. I have the Version 10.6.7
    I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!

    Try and tick the "Set Date & Time Automatically Box". Set it to the appropriate setting.
    Where abouts did you buy your Mac from?

  • Why does a font substitution occur when I print a webpage? How can I fix it?

    When I print a webpage, a font substitution occurs. This happens no matter what printer I send the document to. It did not occur in previous versions of Firefox.

    Gabe,
    It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

  • Why does my I phone 3gs say my memory is low and how do I fix it

    My I phone 3GS says my memory is low when I'm searching web.
    I have plenty of space on phone but it keeps saying I'm low on memory

    Memory is the RAM, not the Storage space, you're thinking of the Storage space that gets used up when you download a movie or something, the notification is about the RAM, which is used to temporarily store information so it can be accesses faster, the iPhone 3GS has 512 MB of RAM, my iPhone 4 has been saying that now and then since I updated to iOS 5, so it's been a while.
    I don't think there is anything you can do about it, except for closing apps, by double tapping the home button and tapping and holding on an app to enable wiggle mode, then tapping the red button to close them. This frees up memory, which should prevent the notification and may even speed up other things on your iPhone.

    AdaS_VZW,
    I'm not sure if the area has been surveyed; it's a large group of apartment buildings about a within a couple miles of Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, so I would imagine that it probably has, but I'm not sure. How would I find out?
    I understand that the Network Extender does not support LTE connections (I know there are two models, the 1x-only and 3g, both made by Samsung - I have the 3g model, SCS-2U01). I know that it can support a 3G data connection, but that should be irrelevant - I'm always connected to my wifi network in my apartment.
    What's particularly vexing, however, is that both a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus in my apartment (the other lines on my account) do not seem to have this issue. While I haven't done so with the S4, the Nexus exhibits this problem when my SIM is in it - and again, this is a fresh SIM from just a few weeks ago.
    I'm currently trying to disable Mobile Data when in the apartment to see if that will make it more stable. I'll post in a day or two with results from that.

  • Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
    I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
    I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
    Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

  • When my iphone makes a sound it comes out distorted, why and how can I fix it?

    Whenever my iphone makes any sort of sound (video, music, lock sound, ect) it sounds distorted and demon like? I know that sounds weird but thats the only way I can think of accuratly describing it.
    It started doing that today and idk, I didn't drop it or anything either.
    Why is it doing this?
    and
    How can I fix it?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself. See if better. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • Airport has a self assigned IP address. Why and how can I fix it

    Airport has a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. Why and how can I fix it?

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • HT1660 I'm getting a message that reads 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Why is this? And how can I fix it?

    I'm getting a message that reads 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Why is this? And how can I fix it? I'm worried that I'm going to lose my entire library because of this.

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

  • I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it? It seems to come up randomly, but I'm fairly ignorant.

    Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

  • I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.
