Re: [Xen-users] HDD-performance on HVM winxp
 
I hear that the network performance under HVM Windows is quite poor without the drivers.  Perhaps you're having network throughput problems in your VM?

 Hi, 
 
Iometer have been installed from http://www.iometer.org/ under XP. 
Transfer request size to 1MB and 128k and measured. 
 
1MB: 
Read: 35MB/s 
Write: 10MB/s 
 
128k: 
Read: 21MB/s 
Write: 7,5MB7s 
 
I think that there is a problem with your setup. 
My setup uses a LVM Volume on Software Raid1 on 
two SATA Drives. 
 
XEN 3.2.1build from Source. 
 
But I have a problem with the load in dom0, when 
XP ist idle. 
 
The CPU in Xentop is nearly 100% all the time, in 
the xp dom. 
 
What is your cpu level of the HVM Domain. 
 
Thanks.

Hi together, 
 
i'm running a winxp hvm-domain without the GPLPV-driver. 
 
I imported an iscsi-target as a lun for the winxp-domain and 
run an iometer test directly on the winxp-domain: 
 
        Blocksize       type    MB/sec 
        ------------------------------ 
        1 MB            read    25 MB 
        1 MB            write   0.8 MB 
        128 kb  read    25 MB 
        128 kb  write   0.8 MB 
 
If I run the same test on the xen-domain0 (hostsystem)using iometer's 
dynamo, I got 
        Blocksize       type    MB/sec 
        ------------------------------ 
        1 MB            read    66 MB 
        1 MB            write   55 MB 
 
My problem ist the 0.8MB/sec in the winxp-domain... 
Is there a way to track down the performance issue ?
