Hello,
I have a DL585 with 80GB of Memory and 4xQuad Core AMD Opteron.
It is currently Running a Fully Patched 2008 Datacenter with Hyper-V. I have multiple virtual machines running some are Windows 2008, Windows 7 RTM for testing, a 2003 Server, and a couple of XP workstations.
All the other virtual machines(Except the XP ones) run great. For some reason the XP workstation run very slow.
Here is the configuration of the XP workstations:
Brand New from scratch Install of XP Pro fully patched to SP3
Assigned two Processors and 2 GB of RAM each
Integration services installed successfully.
For some reason the install took way too long which is understandable for xp since it installs on emulated drivers. But I don't understand why it is running so slow once you do the integration pack.
XP is the only OS that runs this slow on Hyper-V. Its almost unusable. The issue is not just when I'm RDP in, its also slow when connected to it via the Hyper-V Manager.
They all share the same storage which is a Fibre Attached SAN, so that is definitely not the issue.
I did see other posts regarding something similar but they are referring to Intel Procesors. I have AMD Opteron 8360 SE 2.51 GHZ processors. ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/ee8ca086-e8af-44d6-9793-b45594ba6e84#page:2)
Any ideas?
Thank you
