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

Meinolf Weber

Hello Super,

What hardware are you using? Please describe in detail.

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

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/archiv...rmance-counter
s-part-one-of-many.aspx

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archiv...rmance-counter
s-part-two-of-many-hyper-v-hypervisor-counter-set.aspx

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archiv...rmance-counter
s-part-three-of-many-hyper-v-logical-processors-counter-set.aspx

http://blogs.msdn.com/tvoellm/archiv...rmance-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.
