At the moment 3 virtual servers are running on it (OpenSuse 11.2, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008) and one of my servers (Windows 2003, 2GB of RAM, 2 RAW IDE discs) is being extremely slow when writing data to it. We want to use this machine as file server, so we want to copy 180GB of data to it. The copying of data is almost finished now, but it took about 4 days to complete and we are on a 1Gbit connection internally so that shouldn’t make a difference. I saw that the machine is especially slow when copying large data over (like PST files), the speed than drops to 10-20Kbps instead of the multiple Mbps it should do.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>At the moment 6.37 of the 8GB have been takes by the machines so RAM shouldn’t be a problem and total CPU is 50% now, so that should also be no problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>When running task manager on the virtual server itself, nothing special is seen.
