Hi
I have a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server with 192gb RAM running @ 1800mhz, 2 x Xeon E2650 v2, and for VMs, a SATA 7200RPM disk (4tb, no RAID).
I'm running 70 or so VMs, all on, and I'm the only user of the system so no load (of course for things like SQL Server, it still runs timer jobs which access databases, etc). VMs are a mix of SQL Servers, ADFS, AD DS, cert authorities, Sharepoint, System Center, and lots more.
On all VMs, they are very choppy and jerky. Would this be a disk bottleneck? Memory CPU look good. If it is disk, what perf counters can I use to establish this?
I'm looking to get 2 X 4TB SAS disks (also 7200rpm) in RAID 0 or 1. Would this perform much better?
Thanks
