R730 and R630 performance issue

Hi Team,

I have 2 servers.Both are standalone POC servers.

R730

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz
2 CPU and 14 cores each.
Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded) with this firmware version 16.17.01.00
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 Update 1
Seagate BarraCud SSD disks

R630

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz
2 CPU and 18 cores each.
Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded) with this firmware version 16.17.01.00
VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 1
ATA CT2000BX500SSD1, 1.82 TB disks
ATA CT2000MX500SSD1, 1.82 TB disks

 

I see write performance is very bad from guest windows 2019 OS.I tested this from both the DELL servers.

HBA  330 mini firmware version is having any issues?

 

Thanks,

Raj R

Hello Raj,

 

I'm sorry to see you're experiencing poor performance.  I do see that you are up to date on the HBA330 firmware.

Check that you have current driver:

Check driver HBA330 Mini : https://dell.to/3kncWRj

 

 

While we do not do performance tuning I can offer some suggestions.

  • Make sure hardware is up to date on drivers and firmware
  • Run the built-in hardware diagnostic in the LifeCycle Controller
  • Check the System Event Log and the LifeCycle log in the DRAC for any faults or failures
  • Update ESXi.

 

Did you use our ISO, that has Dell validated drivers, when installing ESXi?

I'm providing the links to our ISO for the version you have installed plus the latest update version of each:
