    Wow, well that's awesome that you found the expired battery problem. I'm terrified of my problem being so obscure. What SAN was that on? I haven't tried the PVSCSI adapter yet, so maybe I'll have to give that a shot. Just did some reading on it, and it looks like its reached the point where...

    Sorry about the late reply. I guess it would be a good idea to subscribe to my own thread so I get notifications, lol. Sadly, my boss did purchase the AX4 right towards the end of the models availability. He always likes to wait quite a while for any device or software to be out, and with the...

    Yes I do. I see some spikes of 50mbps and 20mbps on the Disk (KBps) chart. Looking at realtime, I can see where someone was putting some strain on it for 40 minutes with a sustained 25MBps. At that time, disk requests were at 4,000, and network packets were between 175,000-200,000.

    I have the disk pool split into 4 luns. One is a fileshare with the company's documents on it, one has the exchange databases, and the other two each have all of the VMs with seperate VHDs for the SQL and application drives. Two servers are DL360G7s running dual Quad core e5640 Xeons, with...

    I've been struggling to find a place for an unbiased opinion, so I figured I'd post on the good old Hard Forum. If you can put up with my novel, I'd really appreciate some feedback from my fellow IT brothers. For some reason I find it really difficult to trust vendors to give me an unbiased...
