@olivierlambert I've always preferred Intel NICs.

@kagbasi-ngc See if this thread can help you out:

@umbradark Maybe too obvious, but is your boot configuration set up to be BIOS or EUFI mode?

tjkreidl

@nikade Did the same. VLANs are great! We did use separate NICs for iSCSI storage. But the PMI and VMs, traffic was handled easily by the dual 10 GiB NICs, even with several hundred XenDesktop VMs hosted among three servers (typically around 8- VMs per server).

@utopianfish Or look for deals in places like amazon.com or bestbuy.com or even Ebay.com.

@nikade Yeah, that is a far from optimal setup. It will force the data to flow through the management interface before being routed to the storage NICs.
Running iostat and xtop should show the load. A better configuration IMO would be putting the storage NICs on the switch and using a separate network or VLAN for the storage I/O traffic.
Storage I/O optimization takes some time and effort. The type, number, and RAID configuration of your storage device as well as speed of your host CPUs, eize and type of memory, and configuration of your VMs (if NUMA aware, for example) all will play a role.

@TheMonkeyBrain Hi !

Let me find the link I had or reupload the file. I'll give it to you via DM ASAP

If you need to uplaod the appliance, you need to replace sda to xvda on this two files:

    /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
    /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh

@Schmidty86 Try to detach the disk and reattach, it should be xvda in order to be bootable

@rustylh How are you creating your VM ?
