HPE MegaRaid configuraion on ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus

[Matej2292]

Hello,

Recently we recived new ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus servers. In ILO we configured MegaRaid and logical drive this way on both servers:

ProLiant Gen10 Plus - MegaRAID configuration (002).png (udrop.com)

These Gen10 Plus were built and configured as an VMware ESXi hosts (Windows is not a running OS on these servers ). 

These hosts have FC cable - 10 Gbit/s connected directly between them and on vSwitch we configured it as a vmotion for both hosts. 

The problem is that migration via vMotion is too slow considering the fact that it should be 10Gbit/s. It's taking too long to migrate even small machines between these two ESXi hosts. Seems like the migration run through 1Gbit/s instead of 10 Gbit/s.

VMkernel adapter and also physical adapters are configured correctly and we also tried many troubleshooting steps and test but nothing help-ed. So we suppose that bottleneck is cause by this MegaRaid which is a new topic for us.

Is there some way how to configured MegaRaid and logical drive so migration through 10Gbit/s will be functional ?

Does anyone came through the similar problems?

Thank you in advance.

Greetings!

I believe the servers are running supported VMware ESXi version.

What is the model of the MegaRAID storage controller and the 10G nics installed? 

Please ensure the 10G nics and the MegaRAID controller are running latest version of driver and firmware as per VMware compatibility guide. 

Please ensure Workload Profile is set to Virtualization - Max Performance.

Is there an event or a clue that made you believe that MegaRaid might be causing this?

What is the RAID level and disk type (SAS/SATA spindle drives, SAS/SATA SSD etc) installed?

Is there any GPU installed in the server?
