[Xen-users] poor performance of hard disk in Windows DomU with Xen 4.0



Hello
I have a PC/Server with 2 Intel E6220 with 16GB ram, running Debian GNU / Linux 6.0 with kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64.
Adaptec controller has an ASR-2405 and am using the last module aacraid.ko (version 1.1-7 [28000]-ms)

I have a significant drop in disk access performance when virtualizing Windows 2003 32Bit (Xen 4.0) and not if a topic module Xen aacraid.ko or incompatible with the module definition or bad domU

I agracere any suggestions of where else to look.
Below I detail my confuracion



/-- In the controller, I have 4 drives (2 RAID 1)
subsystem: Adaptec ASR-2405
scsi0 : aacraid
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Adaptec  R1sata           V1.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

\-- In the controller, I have 4 drives (2 RAID 1)

/--- The
loaded modules are:
lsmod | grep ata
ata_generic             3239  0
ata_piix               21124  0
libata                133744  2 ata_generic,ata_piix
scsi_mod              126501  5 sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata,aacraid
\--- The loaded modules are:


The performance of
rad 1 (with two SAS drives) with "hdparm-tT / dev / sdb" is:
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads:   15192 MB in  1.99 seconds = 7636.45 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 434 MB in  3.01 seconds = 144.02 MB/sec

In this link you can see the performnce the SAS disk partition, with the parameter phy.

In this link you can see that achieves performnce windows 2003 32bit host (native) of the same disk partition SAS

Thank you for reaching this far down ...
Sorry for English, this is google:)
