Hey guys,

 

Newbie to vmware here and have a quick question.

 

We just upgraded our old system to vmware 5 and are in the proccess of purchasing another storage array.

 

currently we have a MD3000I with 15 drives in sets of Raid 1 with 1 failover (7 luns @ raid 1) 7500 2TB.
We only have 22 Vm's or so but are under heavy load on 3 dell r610 with 6 core dual xeon. we are having performance issues that i believe is related to the storage array. drives or setup) fyi   multipathing is enabled and md3000i is on private network/switches .

not sure what problem is there???

 

We are going to order either another MD3000I or MD3200I with 400GB 15000RPM sas, shoud i go with similar setup or go with 3200 and a diffrent setup? thoughts???
