Re: Intermittent Network Pauses

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance




Hello,

After many weeks of fiddling with everything and anything the storage
group turned on Write Cache for our LUNs on the Xiotech array and the
problem disappeared.

It appears that we having very poor performance from our setup when
writing and reading from a single LUN. I have not figured out where the
bottleneck is, however, we are seeing 8-11 mB/s speeds from the volumes.
Which is terrible. I've got USB disks that work better then that.

For anyone else with similar problems:

Perfmon->Physical Disk->% Idle Time shouldn't be 0 for long stretches.
