Server 2008 Hyper-V

[Guest Super]

I have used VMWare and am now trying to use the hyperv feater in 2008.

 

All my VMs seem very slow in Hyperv. It takes over an hour just to install,

even just an XP system. After install and after the integration services

are installed, they are still slow. Has anyone else seen this?

 

Thanks

This is on a Dell Precision 690, 2 CPUs and 4 gigs of ram. The hard drives

are in a raid 0. It is a decent system for running one VM at a time on

server 2008

Re: Server 2008 Hyper-V

 

Hello,

 

Would you please take a look at the following articles, and then use the

performance counters to see what is causing the performance issue? CPU,

memory, disk or network? Try the relevant counters for both parent and

child partitions.

 

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archive/2008/05/04/hyper-v-performance-counter

s-part-one-of-many.aspx

 

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archive/2008/05/09/hyper-v-performance-counter

s-part-two-of-many-hyper-v-hypervisor-counter-set.aspx

 

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archive/2008/05/09/hyper-v-performance-counter

s-part-three-of-many-hyper-v-logical-processors-counter-set.aspx

 

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archive/2008/05/12/hyper-v-performance-counter

s-part-four-of-many-hyper-v-hypervisor-virtual-processor-and-hyper-v-hypervi

sor-root-virtual-processor-counter-set.aspx

 

Also check the Event Viewer, especially located at the sections under

"Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows" starting with words

"Hyper-V-", to see if any errors or warnings exist there.

 

A very common cause to this problem is that some hardware devices or device

drivers are not compatible with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. Even though

you can run these devices well, but any incompatible devices or drivers may

cause potential problems. We do have seen some similar performance issues

and some of them can be fixed after just updating the drivers. And if this

is the case, it is really hard to say why they would cause this problem.

 

So, if possible, please contact Dell to see if the computer can support

Windows Server 2008, and if all the device drivers are officially signed

(this is a limitation of 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008). Just for

your reference, I am sorry to say that I haven't found this model in the

Windows Server Catalog, which we usually use to check if the special device

has been tested under Windows Server 2008:

Besides, if you have any further questions relating to Hyper-V, I would

highly suggest that you post in our Hyper-V forum. That is special for

Hyper-V and people there have better knowledge on this. They may also share

some useful information with you.
