Currently running several Vm's from my Napp-IT server, one of the machines is running mysql database is only 3gb although it does have 9 million rows, currently performance has been poor, I have tried off loading the DB to RAM, the Napp-IT box is an i5 with 16gb of RAM bare metal install not a VM, IBM m1015, all drives have a smart status of passed, 3 pools, VM's run from one pool, AFP from another pool and the DB sits on this pool, drives for this pool are Raidz1 Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 x3 1 x WD WDC WD30EZRX-00M, VM pool is 4 x Samsung HD204UI, Vm's sit across 2 ESXi 5.1 servers both i7 2600 each with 32gb of RAM, I do have an SSD Crucial m4 256gb not currently deploed, I was going to install this in my macbook as was told it would quickly get destroyed using as cache, really looking for some ways to get performance back on track, any pointers greatly appreciated, drives in AFP remain largely idle apart from when it is serving movies and music
Thanks
