Let me know if i need to change or configure anything else to make the I/O a bit faster than what it currently does. I cannot go in for using SSD's due to budget constraints. Need to make the best use of the SATA disks that i have currently.

so, you have 2x2 ST91000640NS
http://www.seagate.com/products/enterprise-servers-storage/nearline-storage/enterprise-capacity-2-5-hdd/

those are "Nearline" disks, 7200RPM. They are intended for bulk secondary storage, archives, backups and such.

you said you have a number of virtual machines all attempting to access this raid10 at once? I'm not surprised that it is slow. You're probably limited by random IO/second, that raid likely does around 250 random operations/second. share that between 6-7 virtual systems and if they are all doing disk IO, they are going to slow down each other.




So , You dont think that any configuration changes like increasing the number of volumes or anything else will help in reducing the I/O wait time ?

Thanks
Jatin
