Issue 4 DF489665 : Max Config: OM on ESXi 4.1 U2 Experiences Timeouts and very poor performance
Description
When using ESXi with a large number of directly attached disk drives, delays or timeouts in OpenManage Storage Manager
may be encountered during VD creation. PowerEdge servers support up to 2 RAID controllers. Each array controller supports
up to 8 MD1200/1220 enclosures. In the case of OMSA 7.0 and earlier with ESXi, max direct attach storage configs will
timeout during VD creation. To create a VD using ESXi it could take up to 12 minutes to successfully build the xml output for
up to 200 drives. If more than 200 drives are present in the direct attach enclosures you may encounter a timeout error
during VD creation. "The action performed has failed."
Resolution
Improvements are being investigated for the OM7.1 timeframe in Q1 of 2012.Until then the number of direct attached
drives will need to be reduced to below 200 if the timeout is encountered. Please allow sufficient time for the VD to be
created.
