@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.

RE: [dedicated thread] Dell Open Manage Appliance (OME)
@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 -
RE: Unbootable VHD backups
@Schmidty86 Try to detach the disk and reattach, it should be xvda in order to be bootable

RE: VM qcow2 --> vhd Drive Migration Failures
@cichy the documentation for the Kvm/proxmox part is really weird with unnecessary steps
Normally you just have to do:
qemu-img convert -O vpc proxmox-disk.qcow2 `uuidgen`.vhd scp thegenerateduuid.vhd ip.xcp-ng.server:/run/sr-mount/uuid-of-your-SRThen with XO, create a VM and attach the disk
I really need to find some time to finish the rework of this part of the docs, I'm sorry I didn't do it earlier
