Performance issues: Netware on ESX
I'm confused by hit-and-miss performance with NW6.5.8 on ESX 4.0. I'm trying to virtualize most of my servers this summer, and have been running various editions of VMW for years. I've heard about incompatibilities with ESX, Netware and NSS volumes on iSCSI storage, but the first few VM's I built ran well. Now it's about a 50-50 shot: some servers run well, while others using the same hardware and resource pools do not. (it's not just disk I/O - even the console is sluggish) ESX itself doesn't seem to detect any issues. Util is low, tools are loaded etc. This morning I moved a VM from the iSCSI SAN to local storage. If there was any performance gain, it's marginal. These servers are on new Dell blades running the latest ESX 4. I have ESXi 4.0 on older equipment attached to a Fibre Channel SAN, and the performance of those VM's matches or exceeds the best of those on the new equipment. Can anyone explain why one virtual server runs great, but the next one can barely load Monitor? -- wwcsd ------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing I've found can make a big difference to performance is setting a memory reservation on the VM equal to the memory assigned to it - NetWare really doesn't like having it's memory ballooned or swapped.

Interesting... My worst-performing VM happens to have the most amount of RAM allocated, with no reservation. I'll make some adjustments. -- wwcsd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wwcsd's Profile: http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=12842 View this thread: http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=415778

Performing a NetWare 5.1 NSS upgrade to NetWare 6.5 NSS
Hi, If I have a NetWare 5.1 NSS volume on a SAN and I disconnect that from athe 5.1 server and present it to a NetWare 6.5 server, apart from deleting the volume object in eDir and adding it back in with NSSMU, I will also need to perform a NSS volume upgrade command NSS /ZLSSVOLUMEUPGRADE=...

Dear sirs, I would like to know what is the correct procedure to upgrade a Netware 4.1 with Netware for SAA 4.0 server to Netware 5.1. This is the last server we have to upgrade, all the other are already on netware 5.1. Can I just proceed with a inplace upgrade? If so, Do I have to change anything in Netware for SAA?

NetWare 6.5 SP3 Upgrades Issues
This seems to be an issue that has not been addressed by Novell! During the upgrade of a server the GUI will hang at "Closing Installation Files". This results is NRM, & iManager not functioning even though the server is upgraded to 6.5. Looks like Novell has skirted around this issue. Obviously if you read the forums this is happening frequently. This has happened to about 7 out of the 10 servers that I have upgraded thus far. Just exactly when is this going to looked into. Are you passing it on to Novell to inform them that this is happening? I currenlty have a...
Netware 5 to Netware 6.5 upgrade
I am in the process of upgrading a Netware 5 server to a Netware 6.5 server and have a few questions: 1. I would like to run both the Netware 5 and Netware 6.5 server at the same time on the same network. (Is there a migration tool that will transfer the data only, having different file server names?) 2. By doing the above, and having the NDS replicate to the new Netware 6.5 server, does this cause any problems? (Eventually the Netware 5.0 server will be taken offline) 3. Is there any pdf file or technical docs on upgrading from Netware 5 to Netware 6.5 and what the issues might be?...
