NFS and ESX4i on DS410j

[850cc]

Latest firmware on DS410j and ESX4i update 1 on a HP proliant server. I can create an NFS share on the DS and access it in VMWare. I cannot start any vm from that NFS datastore. When i install a new windows vm on it i cannot format the vmdk. Copying a vmdk of 15 GB to the NFS took about 5 hours.
I have tried with iSCSI on the DS and that works fine. It is however slower than local disks
Anybody any ideas ?

Greetings 850cc

I believe the error may be within your Hypervisor itself, as outlined here - also, some other testing showed that a Guest OS within VMware ESXi shows faster performance than the Hypervisor itself.

Hope this helps.
