ok, so I have two different VDI Environments. One is a test environment made up of low end Supermicro gear and a homebuilt DSM NAS from an old core 2 duo machine. Then I have a R620 with H710 cached controller, dual E5 cpus and 32 gigs of ram. I ran some tests using passmark between the two vdi systems and the production environment came back with some really bad results. Can anyone answer why this is? As expected the disk passmark scores on the R620 were awesome compared to even SSD on the host of the super micro but the memory and cpu are terrible on the R620. All were done with Win 7 Linked Clones
Supermicro Setup
VSphere 6 - Horizon 6
ESXI 6
MB: MBD-X10SLL-F-O
32 GIGs of Ram
Single E3-1231 v3 # 3.40GHz
VDI: Windows 7 64 bit - 8 gigs or ram, 2 CPU 2 CORE
Hard drive: DSM NAS - 5400rpm Reds
CPU Passmark Score: 7396
Memory Passmark Score: 1956
R620 Setup
VSphere 6 - Horizon 6
ESXI 5.1
Dual E5-2620 v0 @ 3.00GHz
32 GIGs of Ram
H710 RAID Controller
Hard drives: 10,000rpm SAS
VDI: Windows 7 64 bit - 8 gigs or ram, 2 CPU 2 CORE
CPU Passmark Score: 2923
Memory Passmark Score: 772
All tests were ran with multiple VDIs on both hosts so there was load on both servers.
The R620 VDIs came back with a score worse than a Core2duo according to passmark.
Can anyone tell me what I should check? Something must be going on. Is it the difference from ESXI 5.1 to 6?
Thanks for any insight.
