I have recently virtualized win 2k3 r2 sp2 64 bit box to hp proliant dl38p1 g8 vmware esxi 5.5 host. The db in question is sql 2005 64bit. I attached via iscsi dell m3620i powervault san. The virtual volume on san is made up of ssd drives with raid 10 configuration.
I moved one of the db's to san lun.
When I ran sqlio with 20gb file.
"sqlio -kW -t8 -s120 -o8 -frandom -b8 -BH -LS -Fparam.txt" ~ 60mb/s
"sqlio -kR -t8 -s120 -o8 -frandom -b8 -BH -LS -Fparam.txt" ~ 100mb/s
These numbers are better than bare metal by order of magnitude.
When I run a full table scan query ie.. select * from products, the bandwidth is ~ 12mb/s
Would anyone know why?
Thanks in advance
