PE R550 192GB 2-16CPU Sluggish
Just got in a new Dell PE R550 with 192GB RAM (2) 16 Core CPU's and (3) 4TB 7200RPM HDD Raid-5 running Server 2022 Hyper-V and Sophos Server for virus and malware protection. Moved over 2 app servers and 1 of three domain controllers. All VM's take 2-4 minutes to RDP into. On old R530 server it takes less then 1 minute. I understand SSD's would be faster but I would think today's server HDD's should still be competitive. All logs show normal operation IDRAC and Lifecycle. The only issue is the current VM's are Gen-1 and I am trying to convert to GEN 2but the 2 app servers can't be down for that length of time.
Any ideas or suggestions to look at would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Mainly, I would say this more towards performance tuning, which as the social support here, I will not be able to help much. This would need the help from the deployment team which you need to raise a case with. Or probably wait for the public's response if they have any experience in the same situation/environment that you're in.
I did a google, and I read that newer servers do need Gen-2 VM, as they perform better. Are you referring to RDP slow to Sophos VM or Windows server 2022?

Hi,
How about the Sophos server, is it installed on the server's Windows Server 2022? Is it possible to try to create another VM to test Gen 2 VM?

Sophos host server is a VM on another physical server.
All servers have 10GB SFP Fiber Optic connected to (3) Meraki 48-Port MS-225 switches.
All of the VM's on the new server are moved from older servers with Win2019 as the OS.
2 of the 3 hosts were already Gen-2 but the 3rd I had to convert to Gen-2 using MS MBR2GPT.EXE.
This 3rd server is the one having the biggest issue with sluggishness, however all 3 VM's are slower now on the new server then on the Dell R530.

Hi,
Apologies, I tried to think out of the box to try help you, but it's way out of my league. I probably may suggest contacting the deployment sales team or the tech to check on the configuration, I wouldn't think it's a hardware limitation.
